Landec Corporation (Nasdaq: LNDC), a diversified health and
wellness company, with two operating businesses, Curation Foods
Inc. and Lifecore Biomedical Inc., welcomes Dawn Kimball as senior
vice president and chief people officer. She will lead the human
resources organization and serve as a steward of Landec’s culture.
Her immediate priority will be to review organizational design and
development to optimize results.
Kimball brings a wealth of knowledge cultivated over 20 years in
the industry as a transformative business leader. She focuses on
developing diverse cultures of deep connection where every
individual feels seen, heard and valued for his or her
contributions. Kimball’s previous experience includes expertise in
learning and leadership development, HIPO executive development,
and succession planning and change leadership. She has also
overseen talent management and acquisition, employee engagement,
organizational development, and mergers and cultural integration
within several organizations.
Kimball’s new role adds another strategic hire focused on
supporting the priorities of Landec CEO Dr. Albert Bolles in fiscal
2020. With an emphasis on coaching and development to enhance
overall capabilities, the company is investing in talent across its
entire organization to drive meaningful change. The results of
these efforts have already begun to drive a cultural transformation
at Landec, focused on profitability, executing with excellence,
productivity and sustainability.
“How an organization manages and develops its talent determines
their unique competitive advantage,” said Kimball. “Now that our
strategic pillars are set, we must place the right people in the
right roles at the right time to drive a culture that helps achieve
extraordinary outcomes for the whole organization.”
Kimball returns to Landec after previously serving as senior
vice president of human resources. Prior to rejoining Landec,
Kimball served as vice president, enterprise learning and talent
management at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and as director of
human resources while at Belcorp USA. During her career she held
multiple positions during her tenure at Williams-Sonoma, Inc.,
including vice president human resources, and she worked with J.
Walter Thompson Worldwide as director of human resources and
organizational development.
“Dawn Kimball will take Landec’s company culture to the next
level, and we’re happy to welcome her back into our fold,” said
Bolles. “Her deep knowledge around accelerating engagement for a
more productive workforce will help give us a competitive advantage
to deliver on our strategy for profitable growth.”
