Seban had held positions at Rich Foods, Sara Lee and High Liner Foods. A decade ago, he moved to Interstate Brands, which was part of the former Hostess Brands business that applied for Chapter 11 in 2012. His roles at the old Hostess included chief marketing officer, chief customer officer and COO.

He joined the new Hostess as president in 2013 after the company was acquired out of Chapter 11 by private-equity firms Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos & Co.
