Since 2017, he has been corporate senior vice president and also president of global liquid products and GSF Fresh produce.
Golden State, which has not had anyone in the COO role for around two years, has seen a number of executive moves this year after it announced in April a new top management structure in an attempt to accelerate growth.
Effective immediately, Dick will now oversee all global operations for the company, including food manufacturing and logistics. He is tasked with providing “strategic leadership and direction for all worldwide activities to ensure the attainment of all quality, cost, timeliness, safety and customer satisfaction objectives and company financial and growth goals”.
Mark Wetterau, chairman and CEO of Golden State Foods, said: “I’m confident that Brian and his expanded team will continue to bring strong leadership and proven relationship management to our global food processing and distribution partnerships, along with strategic, innovation solutions to take us to the next level in customer satisfaction and company growth.”
