GMA appoints former P&G exec Jim Flannery senior executive VP, operations and industry affairs
The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) has appointed former Procter & Gamble executive Jim Flannery as senior executive vice president, operations and industry affairs.
In his new role, Flannery will lead the trade association's industry affairs practice and will be tasked with developing collaborative relationships, initiatives and programs with retailers and their trade associations across all retail channels. He will also help the GMA identify and implement new services and programs that will enhance the value of membership, said GMA president and CEO Pam Bailey.
“Given his life-long experience and success in the consumer packaged goods industry, and his in-depth knowledge of so many of the important issues GMA manages on behalf of its members, no one is better positioned than Jim Flannery to advance GMA’s member-driven agenda.”
Flannery - who spent 36 years at Procter & Gamble - most recently served as MD, customer development at P&G Global Operations.
