“I’ve always found it important to foster a leadership team that represents the voices of women,” she said in a statement. “We are a predominantly female industry, with predominantly male leadership, and we are looking to be part of changing that dynamic.”

Grosheider, who has more than 10 years of experience, has worked for Post Cereals, Dole, Dean Foods, Coca-Cola, Bimbo Bakeries USA and Pernod Richard.
