Midwest premium chicken provider Pure Prairie Poultry™ is strengthening its operations in the form of valuable expertise, welcoming two seasoned leaders to its executive ring.
Karen Moody has joined the team to lead the company's people strategies as Vice President of Human Resources.
As a release explained, Moody comes to the chicken integrator with a breadth of decades' long strategic and operational experience in the human resources field, having worked with food companies like Marathon Cheese Corporation, West Liberty Foods, Shearer's Snacks, and Snyder's-Lance.
As the company enters its second year of production, Pure Prairie Poultry continues to invest in its people strategies and focus on operational excellence as foundations for its premium-quality chicken offerings and customer experience, the release noted.
"As a company, our vision is to make the chicken business a personal one," said Brian Roelofs, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pure Prairie Poultry. "By offering both premium quality attributes and a talented and engaged workforce, we intend to attract those customers and consumers who appreciate our Midwestern values and approach to business."
In addition, Mark Page will drive operational excellence as Vice President of Operations. He replaces outgoing Chief Operating Officer, Bob Wolfe, as he retires from the industry after an over three-decade career.
Page has a wealth of strong food operations experience, including 25 years with Minnesota-based chicken provider GNP Company. Most recently, the industry ace served as VP of Operations for egg producer Sparboe Farms and Nature's Path Foods.
"There's nowhere like the nation's heartland when it comes to work ethic and integrity in everything we do, and I'm proud to say Karen and Mark bring those qualities with them to Pure Prairie Poultry. I look forward to the next chapter with both as part of our leadership team," concluded Roelofs.
Congratulations to both of these leaders on their newest executive titles!
