My guest on the show today is the Bill Bennett, the CEO of Innovative Foods Group. After a number of years for working for big companies like Wal-Mart and Kroger, Bill became the CEO of Innovative Foods in early 2023. Since that time, he has been leading an aggressive business improvement plan that has started to bear fruit. In this conversation, we covered:

• What initially attracted Bill to the company and the CEO role;
• Where Innovative Foods plays within the specialty foods subsegment of the massive foodservice industry;
• The divestitures the company has made to simplify the business;
• The secular tailwinds behind the specialty foods category; and
• What the company needs to do to hit its EBITDA and revenue targets.
