Keith Shoemaker, Butterball's president and CEO, has unexpectedly resigned from the company, effective April 25. No explanation was given for his departure, and a replacement has not been named, reports the Triangle Business Journal.
Until Shoemaker’s successor is named, members of Butterball’s board of directors will assume the chief executive responsibilities, says Walter Pelletier, president of Butterball LLC co-owner Maxwell Farms LLC and a member of Butterball’s board.
