Wenner announced in May he would step down after over two decades leading B&G. He is set to stay on the B&G board.
Wenner said he “could not think of a better CEO for the company”. He added: “Bob’s intimate knowledge of our business and operating disciplines make him well qualified for the position.”
B&G said it had started to look for a new CFO.
