Maple Leaf Foods Inc., a Canadian branded food company, is announcing changes to its senior leadership team as it embarks on its next chapter of value creation. The changes come as part of the leadership transition plan that was announced earlier in 2022 as Curtis Frank, currently president and chief operating officer, prepares to step into the role of president and chief executive officer by the spring of 2023, and Michael McCain begins to step back from his CEO role to focus on his role as executive chair.
"With the [c]ompany's state-of-the-art London Poultry, Bacon Centre of Excellence and Indianapolis Tempeh plants all now up and running, we are at a natural inflection point in our journey to realizing our full potential," said Curtis Frank. "As Maple Leaf Foods' next generation leader, my commitment is to leverage our world-class network of assets and our talented team of passionate people to deliver transformational results and create shared value for all our stakeholders as we accelerate and elevate our bold ambition to become the most sustainable protein company on [E]arth. I am very optimistic about the next chapter in Maple Leaf Foods' story, and I am pleased to announce the team of senior leaders who will bring this vision to life."
