TIFTON — PB2 Foods, the original powdered peanut butter pioneer, recently announced key leadership promotions as the company continues to expand its market share and drive strategic growth.
John Monczynski has been named chief customer officer, Steven Ramage has been elevated to chief financial officer, and Owen White has been promoted to vice president of marketing.
In a press release announcing the promotions, PB2 said the leadership moves come as the company solidifies its position as the category leader in powdered peanut butter, with a 51% share of the retail market, according to Nielsen data.
“These three associates have played instrumental roles in PB2’s success, and their strategic insights, customer-first approach, and ability to drive results make them ideal leaders to drive our future growth,” said Craig Entwistle, CEO of PB2 Foods. “With this new leadership structure in place, coupled with the recent completion of our vertical integration, we are poised for sustained growth, category leadership, and continued excellence in serving our customers.”
Since joining PB2 in 2017, Monczynski has been a driving force behind the company’s product innovation and revenue expansion, contributing to a three-fold increase in sales as VP of sales and marketing, the company said. In his new role as CCO, he will oversee the entire customer experience, ensuring that PB2 continues to deliver high-quality products while enhancing brand reputation and driving revenue growth.
Ramage, who also joined PB2 in 2017, has been instrumental in leading PB2’s $9.3 million plant expansion project in Tifton, working closely with operations to maximize production output. His leadership in capital campaigns as VP of finance and operations has strengthened PB2’s financial position. As CFO, he will continue to oversee the company’s financial strategy, positive cash flow, and accounting best practices.
Previously PB2’s director of marketing since 2018, White has a keen understanding of consumer behavior and digital trends that has been pivotal in PB2’s more than 600% growth on Amazon alone, the company said. His expertise in competitive analysis and business insights will now guide PB2’s overarching product marketing strategy, internal and external communications, and business insights. He will report to Monczynski in his new role, while Monczynski and Ramage will report to Entwistle.
At a time when many U.S. companies are scaling back, PB2 remains committed to strategic investments in talent and growth, the company press release said.
The company is headquartered in St. Simons Island but employs more than 100 associates at its Tifton manufacturing facility.
“The alignment of this leadership team, alongside our Board of Directors, is incredible,” said Entwistle. “We have ambitious plans, and I am highly confident in our ability to execute them. These promotions strengthen our leadership at every level, positioning PB2 for long-term success and sustainable growth. I could not be more excited for our customers, our consumers, and our future.”
