PetHonesty appoints new CEO

PetHonesty founder and CEO Ben Arneberg will continue to serve as a Director on the Company’s Board, and he and his family will retain their significant ongoing investment in the Company.

“Bringing Vestar on was a significant step in fueling PetHonesty’s growth trajectory, and the addition of Rich will further accelerate the Company’s strategic expansion plans,” said Mr. Arneberg.

Greenberg has a long CPG background and most recently served as Chief Commercial Officer of Sovos Brands, that owns Rao’s Homemade, Noosa Yoghurt, Birch Benders, and Michael Angelo’s.

“I’m honored to join PetHonesty and serve as its next CEO as we build upon the Company’s strong foundation at a time when the pet products industry is experiencing record growth and strong tailwinds,” said Mr. Greenberg. “With the Company’s leadership team, I look forward to partnering with Vestar and leveraging their industry relationships and resources as we drive the PetHonesty brand, launch meaningful innovation, and delight pets and pet parents with products that make a difference to pet health and well-being.”

“Rich is an inspirational leader with a track record of achieving breakthrough results and driving organizational capability,” said Jeffrey Ansell, PetHonesty Chairman and Vestar Senior Advisor. “I’ve seen the impact of Rich’s leadership first-hand, and I’m confident his principle-based and inclusive leadership approach will enable the Company to achieve its next phase of exciting growth. I’d also like to thank Ben Arneberg for his tireless efforts launching and building PetHonesty into a high-growth, high-potential business.  We look forward to his continued contributions as a Board member.”
