I visualize where our business needs to be in the next 3-5 years and create a plan to get there. This includes making sure we have the right people, technology, and capital resources to get there. A big part of staying competitive is creating a culture where everyone is passionate about their work. To do that, I hire, fire, and reward our team based on our core values. I’m honored that the work we’ve done has been recognized with more than a dozen awards for innovation, culture, and corporate responsibility.

I’ve been leading Simek’s since 1980. During that time, I’ve had to re-invent our go-to-market strategy and business model numerous times. We changed from wholesaler, to distributor, to master distributor, to retailer. We were a retail store for 20 years, but customers didn’t like making an extra stop to get their groceries. I implemented a plan to close all our stores. It was hard, but it positioned us to where we are today. Now, we sell our products directly to stores like Cub, Walmart, Target, and other retailers. My daughter is the president of the company, and she does a fantastic job.
