“These promotions and position changes reflect our company's commitment to maximize support for our retail partners," said CEO Shawn Burcham. "We are continuing to build a high performing team by recognizing and rewarding individuals for their hard work and commitment. All five of the following individuals are passionate team players who consistently exceed our business partners' expectations while growing our business. As we position the company for another record year of growth in 2016, I am pleased to announce that new leadership opportunities have come to these outstanding staff members.”

Amanda Wagner has been promoted to director of marketing. Wagner brought a strong record of advertising agency experience to PFS, said the company. As brand manager, she successfully managed a half million dollars of local advertising support in 2015 for our retail partners.

Tim Sullivan has been promoted to regional manager of western U.S. field operations. Prior to his four years as a senior business advisor at PFS, Sullivan brought more than 10 years of progressive leadership experience within the food and grocery distribution industry, Pro Food Systems said.

Craig Mulcahy has been promoted to regional manager of eastern U.S. field operations. Mulcahy joined PFS in early 2014 as a business advisor and immediately demonstrated the value of his 25 years of leadership experience within the restaurant franchise operations and store development niche, the company said.

Brian Harding has been reassigned to a newly created national key account manager position. Over his seven-year tenure, Brian has demonstrated outstanding skill in cultivating strong relationships with wholesale partners and multi-unit retailers, said Pro Food Systems. This position was created to leverage those special talents.

And Bryan Davis has been reassigned to regional manager of central U.S. field operations. Davis served well as regional manager of western U.S. field operations, but will now move into a similar role for the central region.
