Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC) has appointed Michael Graydon as its new CEO. Graydon replaces Nancy Croitoru, who announced her retirement as president and CEO back in July.
Most recently, Graydon was president and CEO of the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. His previous experience also includes work in advertising, food service and food processing, and grocery retail. Additionally, he was Sobeys’ executive vice-president of marketing and retail brands from 1998 to 2000.
Graydon’s career also includes positions as president and CEO of Mega Group Inc., Canada’s largest retail buying group, and executive vice-president and general manager of JD Sweid Foods.
“Each of these roles provides relevant experience with many facets of the food and consumer products industry and gives [Graydon] a solid platform for growth,” says FCPC. “Michael’s experience across multiple industries combined with his multi-stakeholder management makes him ideally suited for the FCPC role. He has a proven track record of strong and active leadership, proactive and collaborative stakeholder engagement, and he knows how to grow and sustain results.”
The appointment becomes effective on September 12.
