This is the 16th year Progressive Grocer has hosted the program, which celebrates the accomplishments and contributions of thousands of women at all levels of the industry. Nominees include female employees in all sectors of the grocery industry, including retailers, wholesalers, suppliers and solution-providers in the community.
Here’s what Progressive Grocer had to say about Jessica in their announcement this week:
- Responsible for Schwan’s Consumer Brands direct store delivery business, Longshore helped generate year-over-year sales growth through strategic planning and sales execution; in particular, retai l frozen Asian food experienced unprecedented growth due to her leadership, while display execution showed triple-digit improvement.
- Working with cross-functional leaders, she sought to fully understand production, forecasting and distribution models to ensure product availability amid supply chain challenges.
- For its efforts, Longshore’s team received the CJCJ Award, (an internal award) which honors exemplary practitioners of the CJ Management Philosophy.
Other categories in the award program include senior-level executives, store managers and trailblazers. To celebrate all recipients, a “Top Women in Grocery Awards Gala” is scheduled for November in Orlando, Florida.
