Produce Alliance fills chief procurement officer role from within

PRESS RELEASE Produce Alliance BB #:159218 is delighted to announce that Stephanie Fyle has been named Produce Alliance’s Chief Procurement Officer.

She is stepping into the shoes of her father, Mike Williams, who recently retired after holding the position for twenty-six years.

Stephanie began preparing for this role early in life.

Stephanie Fyle, Produce Alliance’s Chief Procurement Officer

Stephanie became a well-known industry expert, and has served as the primary voice of the widely renowned Produce Alliance Market Report. Stephanie was the natural choice to be successor to the leadership of the Procurement department as her father, Mike Williams, steps down from that role.

Looking ahead, Stephanie is excited about the many changes that are happening at Produce Alliance; Produce Alliance has positioned itself for significant future growth, with near term plans to double its purchasing power by leveraging its recent relationship Buyers Edge Platform, Produce Alliance’s new strategic partner.

Stephanie reflected on her new role, “I just feel very fortunate to have lived this life deeply rooted in the Produce industry and after being part of all the ups and downs, the wins and losses of Produce Alliance for so many years, and having the opportunity be mentored by the best; George Melshenker, Joe Collier, Rob Feldgreber, and of course my father, Mike Williams, it’s so exciting to have this chance to use all I have learned to work with my very talented Procurement Team as we together pursue the next chapter of successes.”

We congratulate Stephanie on her new role, and look forward to seeing all the new developments that will come under her Procurement leadership.
