August 03 2018 - 2:28PM
Lifeway Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq:LWAY) announced that it has appointed
Neha Clark, 43, effective August 1, 2018 as its Chief Financial
Officer. Ms. Clark succeeds our interim Chief Financial Officer,
Eric Hanson, who will remain with us as our Chief Accounting
Officer and Corporate Controller.
Ms. Clark’s appointment marks one of the few
instances in which a leadership team consists of women in the top
CEO and CFO spots of a publicly traded company. GM and Hershey are
the only Fortune 500 companies with women in the roles of both CEO
and CFO.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Neha into our Lifeway
Family and look forward to her contributions to the culture and
community of our company,” said Lifeway CEO Julie Smolyansky. “I
hope this appointment will continue to highlight the impact that
women, immigrants, and a strong culture of diversity have on
Lifeway and society as a whole. Neha will play an active role in
the coming weeks as we collaborate on the upcoming launch of
Plantiful, our first plant-based probiotic, and the relaunch of our
popular ProBugs for kids.”
Neha brings deep industry experience and dynamic
leadership to Lifeway from her distinguished 20-year career in the
food and packaging industry. From 2016 until her appointment
as Lifeway’s CFO, Neha was employed by Coveris (recently acquired
by TC Transcontinental) as the Chief Transformation Officer of
Coveris Americas and, previously, as Chief Financial Officer of
Coveris’ $1+ billion North American food and consumer flexible
packaging business.
Prior to joining Coveris, Neha held increasingly
senior positions at Kraft Heinz. From 2011 through 2015, Neha was
the Director of Finance for Kraft Heinz’s $4 billion grocery
business unit. From 1999 through 2011, she held senior finance
positions in Kraft Heinz’s North American commodities business, its
marketing services division, its corporate business analysis group,
and other grocery categories. At Kraft, she had a record of
building profitable brands and maximizing performance for some of
the company’s largest brands, including Kraft Macaroni &
Cheese, Jell-O & Cool Whip.
Neha began her career as an auditor for Grant Thornton and holds
Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Indiana University in
Bloomington, Indiana. She became a Certified Public Accountant
in 1999.
