Smithfield Foods is announcing senior management team changes following Chief Operating Officer Brady Stewart’s decision to depart the company. Stewart resigned from Smithfield on Dec. 20, 2022, to accept a position with an industry competitor.
While the company evaluates longer-term organizational changes, members of Smithfield’s operations team — including those leading hog production, manufacturing, fresh pork, business management and sales — report to President and CEO Shane Smith, effective immediately.
