Susan Adzick recently assumed leadership of McLane Foodservice as president, replacing Tom Zatina, who was named vice president and chief strategy officer at McLane Company.

Adzick was promoted to executive VP and chief operating officer of McLane Foodservice in January as part of a planned transition to president this summer, the company said. Adzick has provided leadership to the foodservice division for more than 20 years.

“When Susan Adzick’s promotion was announced in January, I could not have envisioned the challenging circumstances that 2020 would bring to our business and to our country,” said Grady Rosier, president and CEO of McLane. “During these uncertain times, Susan has demonstrated a steady hand, thoughtful leadership, and unwavering stewardship of McLane’s beliefs and values.

“Her performance this year has reinforced my confidence that she is the right individual to lead McLane Foodservice.”

Zatina, who served as president of McLane Foodservice for 14 years, began his new corporate role July 20. As executive VP and chief strategy officer of McLane, Zatina will lead key projects that are critical to driving process improvements and will enhance McLane’s capabilities in meeting current strategic objectives.

“In Tom Zatina’s tenure as president, he has been successful in growing McLane Foodservice into one of the largest foodservice suppliers in the industry,” Adzick said. “His commitment has had an immeasurable impact on McLane, our teammates and our stakeholders.”
