Hormel Names Kevin Myers Interim Supply Chain Leader Amid CEO Transition

Hormel Foods has appointed Kevin Myers as interim head of global supply chain, stepping in for Mark Coffey, who recently retired from the role. The leadership change comes as the company continues its search for a permanent CEO following Jim Snee’s planned retirement.

Myers, who currently serves as Group VP of Supply Chain for Refrigerated Foods, will oversee Hormel’s end-to-end global operations — including sourcing, production, logistics, and sustainability. His appointment ensures continuity across supply chain leadership during a critical period of organizational transition.

The move follows a broader leadership reshuffling as Hormel prepares for its next era of growth and modernization. As the company navigates a competitive protein market and evolving consumer demand, operational agility remains a top priority.
