Winsight LLC, a business-to-business media and information company specializing in the convenience-retailing, restaurant and noncommercial foodservice industries, announced today that it has appointed Darren Tristano as President of Technomic. Winsight acquired Technomic, a provider of primary and secondary market information and advisory services to the food industry, in August. Tristano joined Technomic in 1994 and for the past twenty years has overseen its information services division.
"Our intent when purchasing the business was to identify opportunities for investment and to organize a leadership team with the vision and skill to make the company even more successful," said Mike Wood, Chief Executive Officer of Winsight. "Based on his demonstrated success in growing the Information Services division, his credibility across the industry and his lasting allegiance to the business, Darren stood out as a natural candidate for this role."
