Meats, who will begin his new role at the start of the new year.
Stewart will report to President and Chief Executive Officer Donnie

President and Chief Executive Officer. “His background in building
business strategies that drive outcomes and identify efficiencies
across complex supply chains is critical for this role.”
Stewart brings more than two decades of experience in the
protein industry. He joins the company from Smithfield Foods where
he has served as chief operating officer since 2021. In that role,
he led Smithfield’s business across its more than 500 company-owned
farms and 46 production facilities in the U.S. and developed
operating systems that aligned efforts across different segments of
the business to drive efficiencies and optimize business activities
and outcomes.
Additionally, he was responsible for operations of the company’s
vertically integrated domestic supply chain, including sourcing and
procurement, transportation, warehousing and logistics. Prior to

officer, among other leadership roles.
“The reputation of Tyson Foods and its products are world
renowned, and I am delighted to be joining the team to help drive
growth and deliver for its customers and consumers,” said Stewart.
“I look forward to help strengthening the company’s competitiveness
as OneTyson by accelerating innovation and streamlining
operations.”
Shane Miller will conclude more than 30 years of exceptional
service to Tyson Foods in 2023 and the company thanks him for his
commitment to the success of the business and its team members.
