Interstate Bakeries Corporation (IBC) has announced that its VP, corporate secretary and general counsel, Ray Sandy Sutton, will retire on 2 June.
Chairman and CEO Charles A Sullivan commented: “It has been the good fortune of all of us at IBC to have worked alongside Sandy. His insight and business acumen have been immensely important to our development as a major food company. His counsel will be missed.”
Sutton’s career with IBC has spanned more than three decades. During his watch as a corporate officer, IBC emerged from its position as a modest regional player in the US baking industry to that of the nation’s largest wholesale baker and distributor of fresh bread and snack cakes with annual sales greater than US$3.5bn.
