Brandon has served in his current capacity as President & CEO since coming to KeHE in March of 2007. Brandon took the reigns from the company’s founder and builder, Jerry Kehe, as a key part of Jerry’s plan to convert the business from a privately held family company to an ESOP owned and professionally run Corporation.
Under Brandon’s leadership, the company has grown from a dominant Midwest Specialty Distributor with roughly $600 million in revenue to one of the leading Specialty Food and Natural Products Distributors in North America – operating 12 warehouses in the U.S. and Canada and generating over $2 billion in revenue.
Prior to joining KeHE, Brandon was the President and CEO of White Hen Pantry where he led a revitalization and growth initiative before it was purchased by the 7-11 Corporation. Brandon has held executive management positions for the past 20 plus years in the Retail and Supply Chain sectors of the Food Industry.
Brandon serves on the Board of Directors of World Finer Foods, a leading importer of foods from around the world.
Brandon received his B.S. in Business Administration (Finance & Economics) from the University of Northern Colorado.
