One of the great traditions we have at Tyson Foods is
we call each other “team members.” We use this term
rather than “employee” or “worker” because we look,
act and feel like a team. As team members, we recognize
the contribution of every single member of our team is
essential to achieving our goals of creating shareholder
value, taking care of our people, serving our customers
and producing the world’s finest protein products.
Combining Tyson Foods and IBP has created a new team
built from the best team members of both companies
and providing professional and personal opportunities
for all levels of management. The Company’s new
organization is based on our customers and their needs.
Under this structure, we have two primary marketing
groups: a Food Service and International Group led
by Co-Chief Operating Officer and Group President
Greg Lee from Tyson Foods and a Fresh Meats and
Retail Group headed by Co-Chief Operating Officer
and Group President Dick Bond from IBP.
Eugene Leman continues as head of the Fresh Meats
Division. John Lea of Tyson Foods now leads the
Consumer Products channel. Both report to Mr. Bond,
who also has oversight of all warehousing, supply chain
and transportation of the new company. Donnie Smith
of Tyson leads this initiative.
Bill Lovette of Tyson continues to head Food Service
Chicken. Don Rea of IBP remains in his role as head of
the Food Service Prepared Foods Group. Both report
to Mr. Lee. Greg Huett and Roel Andriessen, who led
Tyson‘s and IBP’s international groups, respectively,
both remain in those roles and report to Mr. Lee.
Purchasing for the new company is led by Kenneth
Rose from IBP, who also reports to Mr. Lee.
The support services reporting to John Tyson include
Human Resources, led by Kenneth Kimbro from IBP.
Mike Baker from Tyson heads the Technical Services
area, including Quality Assurance and Food Safety,
Environmental Compliance and the Center for
Operational Excellence. Additionally, Mr. Baker
continues his oversight of the Tyson Cobb-Vantress
subsidiary. Tyson’s Steve Hankins and Les Baledge
serve as the chief financial officer and the general
counsel, respectively. Also reporting to Mr. Tyson is
Bob Corscadden from Tyson, who heads Marketing
Services and Corporate Communications.
The combination of Tyson Foods and IBP is truly an
integration of the two companies, taking the best team
members and the best ideas and moving forward to
increase shareholder value.
