Agri-Mark, the premier dairy cooperative in the Northeast, has elevated Senior Vice President and Top Operations Officer David Lynn to interim CEO. He succeeds Bill Beaton, who stepped down in August. Agri-Mark owns the award-winning Cabot brand of Vermont Cheddar, butter and other dairy products.
Lynn has been with Agri-Mark for five years and has nearly 27 years of experience in consumer packaged goods and food manufacturing. Prior to Agri-Mark, Lynn worked for the Kroger Company, L’Oréal USA and Hillshire Farm.
“Having worked with David for the last five years, the board is confident that he has the knowledge and experience to lead our business and make this transition as seamless as possible,” said board chairman James Jacquier. “David has tremendous respect for our members, employees and brands. He has been problem solving, building teams and driving change for decades. We look forward to David’s leadership and vision in his new role as interim CEO.”
