2016
SpartanNash (Nasdaq: SPTN) is pleased to announce the
appointment of Yvonne S. Trupiano to the position of Senior Vice
President, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), effective October
3, 2016. Ms. Trupiano will assume the responsibilities of Jerry
Jones, who is retiring from the Company. Mr. Jones has led the
Company’s Human Resources function since 2009.
Ms. Trupiano will report directly to Dennis Eidson, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and will be
responsible for developing, communicating and implementing the
Company’s human resources strategy. She will have responsibility
for all aspects of the human resources function, including: talent
development, labor relations, compensation and benefits, payroll,
and HR operations, management and development.
Ms. Trupiano joins SpartanNash from Avis Budget Group, a global
car rental and car sharing supplier, where she most recently held
the position of Vice President, Human Resources. She has held a
number of leadership positions during her tenure at Avis Budget
Group and played key roles in that Company’s integration of new
businesses, including the 2013 acquisitions of ZipCar and Payless
Car Rental. As Vice President, Human Resources, Ms. Trupiano served
as the HR business partner to the President of the Americas region
($7 billion revenue, 22,000 employees) and was the senior HR leader
to a team of 85 human resources professionals who supported
multiple banners in North and South America.
“Yvonne’s extensive service leading a large, diverse, HR team
will be a tremendous asset to SpartanNash,” noted Eidson. “Yvonne’s
success with creating and implementing diversity and inclusion
strategies to increase female and veteran representation within
operations, improving employee satisfaction scores, and positioning
the company as a Great Place to Work by the Great Place to Work
Institute align with our current initiatives.” Eidson also noted
that Yvonne’s extensive merger and acquisition experience
integrating teams, systems, and operations is advantageous to
SpartanNash, which is poised for growth.
“We are excited to welcome Yvonne on board, but at the same time
hate to say good-bye to Jerry,” said Eidson. “His leadership
throughout our transformational merger in 2013 was critical to our
integration. He also played a key role in our search and selection
process. Jerry has led by example, serving on the board of
directors of the Heart of West Michigan United Way and serving as a
strong proponent of our companywide volunteer program and giving
back to the communities we serve. We wish him all the best as he
looks forward to returning to his southern roots.”
