Donnie King elevated at Tyson Foods

摘要

As part of a new corporate structure the company said will help better meet customer needs, Tyson Foods Inc. has named Donnie King to the role of chief operating officer. Mr. King, a 35-year industry veteran, recently was named president of Tyson's Poultry business, a role he will retain. Previously, he worked as group president and chief administration officer. Mr. King will report to Dean Banks, president and chief executive officer. Mr. Banks said the move is part of Tyson's reorganization to enhance its operational agility, customer service and accelerate its process of moving innovations to market. He said all four of Tyson's business units will be able to execute the goals as customer sales will be "embedded" with each segment, focusing on meeting customer needs and delivering on those needs quickly.
