Big congratulations to Chris Bethel, senior director of sales for our North Central region, on receiving the Adrian Trimpe Distinguished Service Award at the Western Michigan University Food Marketing Conference! Chris has dedicated countless hours to mentoring WMU food marketing students — hosting them at conferences, Advantage offices and on campus. As Dr. Russell J. Zwanka, director of the Food Marketing Program at WMU, shared: "Chris pushes our students, has high expectations for them, never lets up in his unwavering support and is a true friend and advocate of the Western Michigan University Food Marketing program. An absolutely awesome person, and an even better friend, Chris Bethel is the perfect choice for this award." Well deserved, Chris! ?? #TeamADV #ShapeYourAdvantage #WinningTogether

We believe in growing careers, not just filling roles — and Miguel Torres is proof. What started as a part-time merchandiser role on our Kroger team in L.A. 20 years ago has led Miguel to a senior vice president position, overseeing all of our Ahold Delhaize USA business, including Food Lion, Giant Food, Hannaford and more. Miguel’s story isn’t unique at Advantage — it’s the foundation of who we are. “Many, if not all, of my counterparts at the VP level have had a similar journey,” he says. “We reward those who invest in the business and in their careers.” That’s how we build leaders. That’s how we help our partners succeed. Read Miguel’s full story in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/e5HRnFuR #TeamADV #ShapeYourAdvantage
