Who We Serve

The first step in the food-value chain is the ability of producers around the globe to access the right inputs. Technology continues to deliver inputs that drive better decision making, efficiency, and profitability. Throughout the years, Kincannon & Reed has placed C-Suite executives and Sr. Leaders who have led organizations in delivering products, services, or applications for a variety of segments.

Innovation, ideas, change, and growth are all fueled with capital. Entrepreneurs across the food value chain are leveraging technology, science, and ingenuity to deliver better solutions. K&R has placed leaders within investment firms, worked closely with these organizations to evaluate executives before investments are made, and sourced new leadership when needed to accelerate growth.

We identify and place leaders throughout all distribution channels including distributors, wholesalers, and all consumer buying and consumption points.

Companies today need visionary, forward-thinking leaders who pioneer innovative concepts that meet the ever-changing, discretionary demands of consumers. Our expertise spans placing executives and senior leaders in all segments of human and pet food consumption.

Industry Associations need strong leadership to coordinate their collective voice and provide influence, education, and networking to achieve their missions. Non-Profit organizations are just as mission driven and require a differential leader.

Kincannon & Reed has identified and placed leaders with many processors. These organizations are involved in handling the crop after harvest or adding value by transforming, sorting, or grading livestock, agricultural commodities, or plants into goods that are used for intermediate or final consumption.

Many of our Principals have direct ties to agriculture production. Return on investment, consumer demands, government regulations, and environmental sustainability all play a part in daily decisions of production leaders. Kincannon & Reed has placed senior level leaders throughout organizations that produce our food, fuel, fiber, and raw materials.

Improving existing food products, developing new compounds, researching different solutions, discovering new knowledge, ensuring a safe and abundant food supply; we have placed leaders in organizations who are doing all of that and more.

The roles of Chief Sustainability Officer; Sr. Developer of Environmental Sustainability; VP of Corporate Social Responsibility, or other titles that lead sustainable solutions for organizations are not new to us. After all, we started in Agriculture, and recruiting leaders that feed the world and keep it healthy is our mission. Today’s organizations need leadership that can meet the ever-changing consumer demands while balancing corporate and environmental responsibilities.
