USA – Monogram Foods, a popular American meat snacks company, has announced the addition of Jessica Reese to its executive team. 

Reese steps into the role of senior vice president of sales and business development, reporting directly to CEO Karl Schledwitz.

In her new position, Reese will be responsible for shaping both short-term and long-term sales strategies aimed at achieving the company’s ambitious growth targets.

Reese’s career also includes a variety of sales roles at companies like Daymon and Conagra Brands.
