In tandem with the constructive pricing environment for our product, we are on the path to rebuilding a strong financial foundation which is expected to support the significant growth ahead for us and increase shareholder value over time.”

Prior to his tenure at Smithfield Foods Inc., he held various positions of increasing responsibility at EY, most recently as a Partner in Assurance Services.

Mr. Meth added, “We believe Glenn will play a key role in improving our financial processes as we continue to focus on the cost structure and profitability of our plants, contracts, and supply chain. Glenn’s value-oriented mindset, dedication to leading purpose-driven teams, and unwavering focus on our financial goals will make him an invaluable asset to our stakeholders, and we look forward to the contributions he will undoubtedly make as we high-grade our finance function and scale our back office to support the execution of our long-term growth strategy.”

Mr. Nunziata holds a Bachelor of Science and a Masters in Accounting from James Madison University. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of StoneBridge School and sits on the Board of Advisors for the College of Business at James Madison University.

Mr. Nunziata succeeds Shai Even, who held the role since 2018. “I would like to thank Shai for his service over the past five years and wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits,” concluded Mr. Meth.
