Meet Progressive Grocer's New Editorial Advisory Board
Progressive Grocer has been fortunate for more than 100 years to cover the grocery industry. But when you picture the future of grocery retail, what do you see? We at Progressive Grocer are creating our first-ever Editorial Advisory Board in order to make sure that what you see, and what we all see, is a thriving food retail industry, with robust sales and a customer that is as obsessed with grocery innovation as we are.
That’s why Progressive Grocer is pleased to announce the creation of a new Editorial Advisory Board in 2024. The Progressive Grocer Editorial Advisory Board brings highly respected and accomplished professionals in the grocery industry to advise and review the direction of Progressive Grocer content, with the aim of widening our reach and enhancing the quality of our offering to you, our cherished reader.
Progressive Grocer’s Editorial Advisory Board consists of representatives from large, mid-tier and small retail food chains from across the country. Our esteemed panel includes:
- Lynette Ackley, Group Vice President Merchandising, HBC, Consumables & Hardlines, Meijer
- Charlie D’Amour, Executive Chairman, Big Y Foods
- Ryan Draude, Head of Loyalty, Giant Food
- Zachary Lane, Director of Retail Systems, Fareway Stores
- Kevin Miller, Chief Marketing Officer, The Fresh Market
- Diana Marshall, Chief Growth Officer, Sam’s Club
- Ryan Roberts, Executive Vice President of Perishables, Hy-Vee
- Rachel Shemirani, Vice President, Barons Markets
We at Progressive Grocer will depend on guidance from our new board to help us navigate the issues of the day in grocery retail. But that doesn’t mean we just want to hear from our new board. We want to hear from you. Let us know what you think about the Kroger-Albertsons deal, and all the other pressing issues of the day in grocery, and how we can do better in shining a light on them.
