UNFI Appoints Jerry Goldsmith to Lead Conventional Fresh Business
United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) has appointed Jerry Goldsmith as the new leader of its conventional fresh business following Jody Barrick's retirement from her role as senior vice president overseeing fresh meat, seafood, bakery, and deli operations. Goldsmith will now lead UNFI’s conventional fresh division with expanded responsibilities that unify the company’s grocery distribution teams across multiple categories. This move aims to enhance collaboration among departments and better support customer growth strategies according to Ron Selders, President of UNFI Fresh. Barrick announced her retirement on LinkedIn after over 40 years in the grocery industry and plans to launch a new venture called Perimeter Partners. Her departure follows improved fourth-quarter financial results for UNFI, reflecting progress from its ongoing turnaround efforts focused on supply chain improvements, technology investments, and productivity initiatives.
