“The experience and knowledge of our senior leadership team have always been a key differentiating factor for Hormel Foods, and that’s certainly evident in the careers of Steve and Tom,” said Jim Snee, chairman, president and CEO. “Steve has been an important leadership force within Hormel Foods, and has achieved a great track record of success throughout his 38-year career.
