HF Foods Group Inc’s Post

Leadership Shuffles 🔄 The winds of change are blowing through Samworth Brothers as Hugo Mahoney hands over the reins. After steering the company through the post-pandemic era, it's time for a fresh face at the helm. Meet Simon Wookey, the insider propelled from Chief Commercial Officer to CEO. With 35 years of seasoning in the food industry, Wookey's portfolio is as rich as the history of Samworth Brothers itself. From crafting sandwiches to crafting strategies, Wookey's career has been a smorgasbord of leadership roles, especially his notable 20 years with Greencore. His transition marks a strategic move, exemplifying the company's commitment to growth and sustained success. As we tip our hats to Hugo Mahoney's resilient leadership, Simon Wookey's ascent promises to bring a fresh yet experienced perspective to the executive table. Here's to aligning the legacy of past achievements with a forward-thinking vision! #Leadershiptransition #foodIndustry #businessstrategy #fmcg #foodmanufacturing

I'm really proud of several pieces of work throughout my career, if I can toot my own horn for a minute. 💡 • Developed and deployed a global, enterprise-wide Leadership Development program in partnership with Droste Group. We are continuing to refine and reimagine the program and I'm excited for the next iteration because it might be the best one yet! • Created and launched a monthly video series featuring career journey's of employees. Angela, spotlighted below, is one of our recent employees to share her journey. The videos serve as a reminder that development is up to each person and there is no single way to find success and grow when you take accountability for your own path. • And, one of the unexpected things that brings me joy recently is being part of a team responsible for the content creation of our company LinkedIn page. This isn't a bullet in my job description, but it's also one of the best things about working at La-Z-Boy. There are so many opportunities to fall in love with work that aren't "in my job description". Using my undergrad in Communications (for the first time 😄), this allows me to flex my creative muscles and work with folks I might not otherwise. You know, the things you end up wanting to work on when the real work becomes overwhelming or too hard? This is that, exactly. I'm thankful I was asked to participate, as it's been very rewarding.🌱 There are many other really cool things I've gotten to lead or participate in over the course of 10+ years in Talent Development/Talent Management. And, I'm sure there will be many more opportunities in the next 10 years. And then, after that, I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to retire early (JK...maybe. Isn't that a dream we all have? 🤭).

Having worked for large publicly traded companies in the food and beverage industry including Kraft, Mondelez, and Kellogg for two decades, Eric Munoz took the unusual step of moving to a much smaller private company in 2022: Good Foods Group, LLC, a fast-growing maker of avocado-based dips, spreads, and other packaged food products sold by major retailers. As chief human resources officer (CHRO) for the start-up founded in 2007, Muñoz practices what he calls “value-creation HR,” an approach where HR is deeply involved in strategic planning that directly impacts financial results. “In most large corporations, HR is one step removed from impactful strategic decisions,” Muñoz says, “as corporate leaders typically do not consult with HR before deciding to roll out a new product line or enter new markets.” Read more about his story in our latest issue: https://hubs.la/Q024836b0 There’s a critical conversation happening within the business community about what it takes to be a successful Latino leader.
