SPRINGDALE, ARK. — In a recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Tyson Foods Inc. stated that Stewart Glendinning, group president of Prepared Foods, would resign from his position on Sept. 14.

Glendinning began this role in October 2022. He replaced Noelle O’Mara, who left to pursue other opportunities.

"We are grateful for Stewart’s contributions throughout his time at Tyson Foods, including serving as Tyson’s Chief Financial Officer and President of Prepared Foods.  We wish him continued success in his new role," a Tyson Foods spokesperson stated to MEAT+POULTRY on Sept. 7. Prepared Foods continues to be a key growth pillar for Tyson Foods and we have a great team supporting it.”

Glendinning joined Tyson Foods in 2017 as chief financial officer. John R. Tyson took over that role in October 2022. 

Glendinning came to Tyson from Molson Coors Brewing Co., where he served as president and CEO of International. He joined Molson Coors in 2005 as CFO, UK. He also served as Global CFO, president and CEO, UK and president and CEO of Canada. Before that, Glendinning served in senior financial positions with The Hackett Group and KPMG.

“Stewart has the financial and operational background, as well as the proven organizational management skills, needed to help unlock the full potential of our iconic consumer brands within Tyson’s Prepared Foods business,” said Donnie King, president and chief executive officer last October.

Glendinning will join fashion apparel retailer Express Inc. as its new CEO and board member, effective Sept. 15.
