"We have a succession plan in place which includes the continued development of our management staff to fulfill the leadership needs of an ever changing and growing company," said CEO and President Tim Klein. "These moves help strengthen National Beef's leadership today and ensure a strong pipeline of capable leaders in the years to come. We are fortunate to have the depth of experience and expertise within our company that makes it possible to plan for succession from within."
Media reported that ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston, Tri-Cities, Wash., named 15-year operations veteran Jim Kirkham as plant manager at the company's newly completed sweet potato processing plant in Delhi, La.
