US shrimp supplier Mazzetta has lost its longtime vice president of of business development.
Matt Simpson left the role after nearly a decade of being involved with operations, procurement and sales. He has joined Monarch LLC as its president--formerly known as Monarch Trading. The company is a US distributor of wholesale fresh and frozen beef, pork, lamb, mutton, chicken and seafood.
"Matt has been a big part of our successes over the past decade,” said Tom Mazzetta, the founder and CEO of Mazzetta. “We appreciate Matt’s commitment to the company, our customers, and our suppliers during his tenure with the company.”
Prior to joining Illinois-based Mazzetta, Simpson served as executive vice president for global supply chain and procurement with Massachusetts-based Slade Gorton.
Mazzetta is a fully integrated importer, distributor, and producer of frozen seafood for the foodservice, grocery and broadliner market. The company also sells Oishii shrimp, a premium product it produces in partnership with Thai seafood giant CP Foods.
