McKelvey will design and deliver Dean Foods’ key strategic growth plan initiatives, as well as “a careful, risk-mitigating project management” approach to initiative implementation, the company said.
Dean Foods’ hopes the new role will result in greater interaction between organisational capabilities, including information technology, and strategy.
Previously, McKelvey held senior management positions at the company’s WhiteWave Foods unit.
“Over the past four years Greg was instrumental in designing and implementing the WhiteWave strategy to combine three separate, subscale businesses into a premium national branded business group with a shared vision, supply chain and process infrastructure,” Engles said.
