Executive team changes at Vistar's parent company, Performance Food Group, are intended to drive innovation and foster growth.
Scott McPherson was promoted to president and COO of PFG, effective January 1. Throughout his 30-year career, McPherson has held numerous leadership positions with Core-Mark including senior vice president roles for the company’s U.S. Division, Corporate Development, COO, and president and CEO. Most recently, he served as executive vice president and chief field operations officer for PFG.
In his new role as president and COO of PFG, McPherson will continue to oversee PFG’s three business segments — food service, convenience and Vistar — responsible for all aspects of these businesses while focusing on the overall company growth. McPherson will report to George Holm, PFG’s chairman and CEO.
Craig Hoskins, who has served as president and COO of PFG for the past three years, will transition into the newly established executive vice president chief development officer position. In his new role, Hoskins will lead the integration efforts of PFG’s two recent acquisitions, Cheney Brothers Inc. and Jose Santiago Inc., to help ensure the company maximizes the strengths of these two organizations across the PFG enterprise.
Hoskins’s career with PFG began in 1990 with the legacy company that became Vistar. There, he successively held roles in marketing, sales, purchasing and operations. He has also been president and CEO of Performance Foodservice and president and CEO of PFG Customized.
“At PFG, we believe that having a strong leadership team is one of the cornerstones of our success,” said George Holm, PFG’s chairman and CEO in a release. “By investing in the development of our leaders, we ensure our team is equipped to drive innovation, foster growth, and seamlessly navigate an ever-evolving marketplace.”
