BrightPet appoints new CEO
Dave Kowal will step up as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.
For decades, Kowal has been involved in scaling food, grocery and industrial companies.
Most recently, Kowal served as President of Champion Foods, a Michigan-based manufacturer of quality food products for private label and store brands, where he achieved a compound annual growth rate of 17% (compared to the industry standard of 1%).
With Kowal’s appointment as CEO, former president Golladay will transition to a role focused on expanding manufacturing opportunities with both domestic and international customers, while remaining actively involved in driving the Company’s overall strategy and operations.
“I am excited to be joining the team at such an important, transformative moment in BrightPet’s history,” said Dave Kowal, Chief Executive Officer of BrightPet. “With the acquisition of MiracleCorp in January, the BrightPet team has done a remarkable job of continuing its rapid expansion of the manufacturing and distribution footprint of its impressive roster of trusted brands. I plan to bring my expertise to bear as we continue to drive growth on all fronts.”
