A celebration o� �emale pro�essionals
Tribute offers insight into careers of 54 honorees
The Shelby Report of the West presents its 17th annual tribute to Women of Influence in the food industry. This year’s slate of honorees – 54 strong – runs the gamut from presidents and VPs to managers, directors and supervisors. They are among the leading executives in their respective fields, but their candid responses to questions from the Shelby team also reflect how they handle their other roles – as wives, mothers, sisters and even grandmothers. Whether they’ve worked there decades or just a few months, these women are making an impact at their companies. Some have MBAs or law degrees,
while others are pursuing doctorates. Nearly all belong to professional associations and are active in their communities.
In the pages that follow, they share advice for up-and-coming professionals, as well as detail some of the challenges and rewards they’ve experienced along the way. In addition, you’ll learn about the defining moments in their careers.
We found their responses refreshing and inspirational, and hope you will as well. Join us as we celebrate the 2022 Women of Influence.

Navigating through the impact that the pandemic has had on the global supply chain and input costs across the industry has proved to be the most challenging aspect of my job.
Early in my career with Daymon, I was lucky enough to have a mentor who gave me space to develop my own path and empowered and challenged me to think strategically and take risks.
A defining moment in my career was accepting a new role in our

departments to resolve issues and execute such strategies and plans.
The most rewarding aspect of my current role is empowering team members to drive change and watch them as they enjoy the fruits of their success. The most challenging aspect of my current position is leading the team through intense times of inflation, supply disruption and customer behavior changes, on top of an already challenging competitive market.
I enjoy taking the time to work with each of my direct reports individually to fine-tune plans and stay focused on results. The impact of one-on-one time and listening with intent is invaluable.
I was very fortunate to always have my mentor in my corner listening, guiding, but never doing for me. This individual was very good at making me comfortably uncomfortable in situations where he knew that I had an

I had a mentor who explained that sometimes you have to take risks to make an impactful difference. They said that people were too focused on a limited set of parameters that adjusted quickly.

Personally, my great-grandmother has had the most profound impact on me. She taught me about the quiet strength that it takes to work incredibly hard without expecting a reward. She also demonstrated the importance of living your life with values and helping others when you can.

Her advice for up-and-coming professionals is to stay curious and continue to asking questions. Also build connections and take time for reflection.

hard-working, passionate individuals. I help coach and train future leaders of our organization. The joy of seeing them flourish and become outstanding store leaders is exceptional.
Our industry has gone through challenges these past few years with COVID. Yet we have also seen how strong and resilient we can be and continue to show our strength. We continue to strive higher than our expectations through this pandemic.
My defining moment in my career was realizing that I genuinely love
which I get to do within my role. I have had a tremendous amount of support and guidance throughout my career and have had the pleasure of working with people in my own company who have taken me under their wing to assist in my professional development.
One of the greatest challenges is also one of my biggest professional “wins.” Shortly before March 2020, Lazy Acres was offering up to 25 handson cooking classes a month in our stores. When the pandemic began, we had to shut down our cooking classrooms. My team and I worked quickly to pivot our in-store cooking classes to live-streamed classes in an effort to

The most rewarding part of my job is also the most challenging part. I love the complexities that come with being a part of creating new tools rather than only using them.
I’ve been fortunate to have two amazing mentors who have pushed me beyond my comfort zone over the past years. Rick Morales, northern region manager, has pushed me to expand my knowledge in technology and inspired me to go back to school after completing a Retail Management Certificate and Business Essentials Certificate.

Over my career, I have worked at some of the top independent grocers in Southern California and have a true passion for the Hispanic market. I take it as a responsibility and a privilege to provide our customers with fresh foods at competitive prices that are so important to their culture.
I have worked with some of the industry leaders and learned much from
what I do and how I feel when everything aligns for a team member. When I can directly impact for the good, that is a great feeling.
The advice I give to anyone is not to doubt what you can do and never stop learning. If you can see yourself in that position, make it happen. Be good to yourself. Be gracious to all who contribute to your growth.

This was a career-defining moment for me, not only because we were able to develop and pilot a new offering in just a couple of weeks, but because our community responded positively to it.
For all up-and-coming professionals, I recommend considering the USC FIM Program, which has been transformative for me both personally and professionally. Most importantly, stay hungry, support others, keep your eyes on what’s happening both inside and outside of your company’s four walls at all times and always ask questions.
Perishables and Merchandising, has patiently guided me through the company’s inner workings to help strengthen my understanding of the various aspects of the business and how I can affect it. He’s also inspired me to seek out volunteer opportunities in the community, which has led me to pledge with Beta Sigma Phi.
My defining moment would be when the door opened to the chance to contribute companywide through the Perishables and Merchandising departments. The advice I would give would be to always give every task your best effort and never stop growing.

The most rewarding part of the job is the people. We are a spirited group, inspiring each other to push beyond what we think we know.

The most challenging part of my job is walking away from a product in development when it becomes clear that the product won’t be successful.
At ECOS, I have been fortunate to have several people I view as mentors who have helped me grow in my career and as a leader. Jenna Arkin is our chief innovation officer at ECOS, and she is one of the most positive and energetic people I have worked with.

No matter the situation, she remains calm and levelheaded. She is a wealth of knowledge
I have had many guiding lights in my life and my career. Some offered me wisdom, while others offered me opportunity. I always listened and learned from every single one.

I believe in picking up the phone, asking questions and getting to know your customers. That is the single best thing you can do in this industry and it’s amazing how much opportunity you will find by doing so.

I'm grateful for his mentorship and for believing in me to do great things.
my abilities. Throughout all the years of challenges, they became the value of my life. These values could also help me to share and coach to others when they face any difficulty.
My share to up-and-coming professionals is,“Take on challenges. Learn, grow and value them as part of your life.” I’m also thankful that I get to meet great professors and classmates at USC on my journey in the food industry Leader Master Program, which also helps me to improve to be a great leader.
and advocates for work-life balance. Aaron Miller is our strategic planning director and is intelligent, endlessly witty and supportive.
Being hired by ECOS was a defining moment in my career. I thoroughly enjoy working in the cleaning product industry. My advice for up-andcoming professionals is to never stop believing in yourself and keep in touch with the people who believe in you and support you. Having people around you who believe in your abilities and potential will keep you going when you find your confidence waning.

I have had different mentors thoughout my career – sales managers, district managers and division presidents. A job vacancy was a pivotal point in my career, and I decided not to apply for it.

If I had any advice for anyone, it would be to roll up your sleeves and go to work on whatever is needed. Leave your "job description" at the door. The more helpful you are, the more friends and allies you'll make. And the better your professional relationships, the faster you'll advance.

My defining moment was one year ago when I made the decision to move into my first role in a retail organization after spending 30 years in manufacturing companies.

purchasing. I have more than 28 years of experience for the planning and execution in meat. I have domain of meat and seafood with high ability to integrate into work groups.
I have had the good fortune to receive excellent mentoring during my career. Thinking back and pondering what made my supporters effective and special for me was that I was curious and was not afraid to infiltrate into an area attractive only to men. Over my years as a professional, I have had the privilege to serve and mentor other women to grow in this area as well.
company has led me to my current role. In this position, I lead our sales team in the launch of a new product that is preparing to scale through key partnerships. I also help our national sales team implement new ideas through our executive management team, and partner with my colleague and mentor, Joe Moody, to help independent grocers identify who their shoppers are and how to engage with them.
The most rewarding aspect of my career is that I get to help people, whether it be a person on my team that is struggling, or an independent grocery store that is competing with a big chain moving in next door. The
employees. What I find most rewarding about my current job are the people I work with and the daily impact I have to make in the lives of my employees and customers.
A defining moment in my career was my promotion to district manager. The most challenging part of my job is that there's not enough time in the day. No two days are the same in retail, and some days you leave feeling you have accomplished everything you wanted to. And then there are other days where you do not know if you accomplished anything. But you learn to give
I oversee workers compensation, general liability, loss prevention, regulatory compliance, food safety quality assurance and sanitation. Each day brings new challenges and ways to be a positive influence on customers and employees.
Mentors include: Louis Melillo Sr., who instilled a strong work ethic; Sam Masterson, who taught me to keep leadership informed to avoid surprises; Kevin Davis, on the opportunities this industry offers and appreciation of friends made along the way; and Adam Caldecott, who continues to push me on ways to get more done through mentoring and
The endorsement that I give to any person is to not doubt your abilities to learn and grow. Instead of dreaming, work to achieve your goals, find what makes you curious and passionate, then ask, “Is this idea or opportunity what I want for my future? Do I want to brighten future?” If the answer is yes, then go for it and amazing things will happen.
I have managed to develop in a male-dominated area. I think that times are changing and women are changing the definition of leadership with the strengths, skills and perspectives they bring to the industry.
most challenging thing about my job is the lack of time; there aren't enough hours in the day. We all would love to have a clone button.
When I run into challenges on a day-to-day basis, I call on Joe, a partner in the grocery industry but also a wonderful mentor. Management, client strategies and personnel, he always has words of wisdom to share.
Approximately 18 months ago, it seemed as if everything clicked. It was a very defining moment in my career and it was the acquiring of confidence. My advice to up-and-coming professionals is to not doubt yourself, know how valuable you are and your potential, but stay humble.
yourself grace and know that you worked hard. Hopefully, tomorrow will be another day to do it all over again.
The advice I would have for up-and-coming professionals is to advocate for yourself. Take control of your career goals and pursue them. I have this saying, “No one can stop you but you. You can go as far in your career as you would like to go, and it's all up to you.” Enjoy the ride along the way.
leadership of others. This allows me to expand my repertoire in new areas of the industry.
Trade affiliations include California Grocers Association and Food Marketing Institute Food Safety Advisory Committee.
A defining moment was when I pitched creating an asset management department under store operations EVP. My advice for up-and-coming professionals is to look at an area of the business where there is a void, seek out the education and become the solution.

25 years. The most rewarding part of my role is getting to discover how incredibly amazing people can be when they are lifted and supported. The greatest ideas and creativity emerge when this is fostered. The most challenging thing can be that they are not yet convinced of their potential. This actually happened for me earlier on in my career. I thought I did not possess the talent and skills for a particular role. My mentor at the time convinced me otherwise, instilling confidence and reinforcing my passion and determination. That was a defining moment and has helped me in all my

I enjoy the challenges the grocery industry presents and helping to solve those challenges to make our stores better for the future.

The most challenging part of my current role is recruitment, retention along with influencing store leaders to interact, engage, connect and build strong teams. Kimberly Johnson, who is my current supervisor, has mentored me, guided me and supported me in my career growth.
A defining moment of my career was when I was a store leader and I was being transferred to different locations every year. At first, I was not
Since 2000, I've been an operations leader at Johnsonville. During that time, I've served as plant coordinator (plant manager) at two manufacturing facilities and launched a new business unit called sustainable swine resources. In my current role, I lead strategy and operations of four harvest and processing plants.
It's difficult to pick just one defining moment, but an accomplishment I am especially proud of is leading the launch of Johnsonville's SSR division, which created a new revenue stream, monetizing the approximately 38
In the world of HR, more specifically in employee relations, my dayto-day responsibilities aren't always light and comfortable. But what I find most rewarding is the ability to make an impact on someone. Whether it’s implementing a new program, providing a development opportunity or creating an open forum and reminding others of their voice – that their words, thoughts and beliefs have value – I know that I can make a difference.
I have worked for a wonderful group of leaders that not only believed in me but challenged me to grow and pursue a better version of myself. One
every day to help our stores continue to be beacons in the communities they serve. The great responsibility of serving so many can be a challenging task as well. That is why my advice for up-and-coming professionals is to always let your values guide you through any storm. I try to uphold the morals I found in the U.S. Air Force, “Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do.” Those three simple phrases lead my actions. Find the guiding principles that help you be brave, be bold and truly shine. Remember that today's challenges often become tomorrow’s rewards.

The biggest challenge has been the speed at which we have had to respond to e-commerce demand and finding methods to balance the roll out of initiatives and growth plans all while providing a great customer experience.
A defining moment in my career was accepting the e-commerce role after spending the previous 18 years as a store director. Taking on this new and challenging role was scary but taught me how to trust in my abilities to learn and execute in ways I had never done before.

I am completely open to take that leap of faith. It encourages me daily to be that mentor for someone else on their journey. At the end of every day, it is all about the people. Those we influence, encourage and bring along. That is my advice for up-and-coming professionals, it’s all about the people.

My advice to others is to stay authentic to yourself, lead by example, be the best role model and always push yourself to excel and learn.

Without ever speaking on it, she's shown that success isn't defined by what I bring to the table or how my results look on paper, but more importantly on the growth and well-being of those I am responsible for leading. If there is any advice that I can give my younger self or those following behind me, it is to never let the fear of not being heard or understood stop you from speaking up for what is right. You never know who is following behind you, relying on your voice.

I would tell any up-and-coming grocery industry professional to never limit yourself to just one role because you do not think you have the knowledge or skills required for the next one. Always say “yes” to an opportunity, then commit to the learning required to conquer that role and lead you to the next.
I am currently completing the USC Food Industry Management Program and am so excited to see how I can use my enhanced learnings and insights to impact our industry and help grow future industry leaders as I have the opportunity to work alongside them.

What I find most rewarding in my current position is working with my team, developing new private label items from concept to finished product being sold at our stores. My biggest challenge is adjusting to supply chain and workforce constraints due to the pandemic.

I have been truly fortunate to have many mentors throughout my career. The one who influenced me in the very beginning was Kimberly Beach. She is an inspirational servant leader whom I look up to and go to even to this day. She is someone that I can always count on and someone that will always give me honest feedback.
rewarding part of my job is to work with so many great brands that have a story and a passion behind their product and help them bring that to life at retail.
I have had the privilege of working with many great leaders in this industry, but two have made the most impact.

In addition, I currently work with Subriana Pierce as she and her husband are the owners of Navigator Sales. Subriana is the epitome of servant leadership and the

As a food professional, I often ask myself how am I contributing to the food industry and society as a whole. How can I better it? I add value to the industry in a variety of ways. I have an extensive knowledge of restaurants, whether that be QSR, Michelin-star fine dining, fast-casual, catering, zerowaste and farm-to-table. In addition, I am passionate about sustainability, accessibility, and addressing food injustice.
I could not have made it this far with the help of many mentors: Chef Josiah Citrin, Chef Michael Cimarusti, Chef Robert Okura, Donald Moore and Jay Hinson. I am a perpetual student of the industry who can adapt and
