Kettle Foods added Tim Fallon as president North America and general manager. Fallon most recently was CEO of Vermont Pure Holdings Inc. (VPH), a publicly traded natural spring water company. While at VPH, Fallon led sales growth from $6.5 million to $70 million within nine years. With an extensive background in manufacturing, distribution and finance, as well as experience in sales and marketing, Fallon will help fuel the company's expansion efforts and deepen distribution of Kettle brand Potato Chips.
Fallon fills the role vacated by Marc Cramer, an eight-year veteran at the company, when he was promoted earlier this year to global chief financial officer for Kettle Foods. Cramer now leads global financial operations for the company, which has manufacturing sites in Salem and Norwich, United Kingdom.
