Natural American board member Robert Strauss said Chambers “is a highly-talented executive who has an impressive history of leading food companies and delivering exceptional results”.  “His demonstrated track record of driving significant value creation across both sales and operations is a great fit for Natural American as it continues to execute numerous compelling growth initiatives.”
