Kevin Miquelon joins Pfoodman Group

Kevin Miquelon – Bio/Vitae – April 2007

Kevin Miquelon has joined the Pfoodman group of companies, as the President, effective April 9th, 2007, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Pfremmer. Miquelon will be guiding the company’s organizational & leadership development, strategic planning & execution, and will be directly overseeing all new business acquisition and growth. As a Member of the holding company, Miquelon will also be involved in helping to incubate other business ventures for the company.

Prior to joining Pfoodman, Miquelon spent the past several years as the Vice President of Sales & Marketing leading the charge to re-engineer Concentric Sourcing (a division of The Flesh Company). The re-building and re-branding initiative produced excellent results in addition to building a strong foundation for the future. Concentric’s web-based supply chain management program is ground-breaking for the industry and elevated their “commodity” products to value-added, and produced a unique competitive advantage for the organization.

From 1998 to 2003, Miquelon was Co-Founder and Partner at Incite Solutions, a consulting firm that specialized in business development & aggressive growth, and strategic planning & implementation, working with the upper-level executive teams at mid-market companies. Miquelon did public speaking and presentations to a number of organizations across the U.S. and had appeared as an “expert guest” for the television program Strictly Business. The firm pioneered several proprietary programs including the Building BlocksÔ methodology - proprietary intellectual capital for delivering Sales Productivity Improvement and Return On Sales InvestmentÔ. In 2003, Miquelon sold his share of the firm to his business partner to pursue other interests.

Before starting his own business, Miquelon spent the fifteen years from 1984 to 1998 in the foodservice distribution business. He began as a Territory Manager with Craig Distributing Company and upon its acquisition by Kraft Foodservice was promoted to the management team. During those years, he was directly involved in sales management, sales training, leadership training & development, marketing, sales force automation, strategic planning, food shows, and customer seminars. Kraft Foodservice was later sold and today is part of U.S. Foodservice. In 1994, Miquelon was the recipient of The Kraft STAR Award for professional excellence.

Miquelon is a 1983 graduate from Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science from the School of Business Administration with a major in Finance and a Minor in Economics. He has been married 21 years, is the father of four children, and he is an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, with a particular interest in fly fishing. He is currently a board member and Vice President of Membership for Ozark Fly Fishers, a Junior Achievement Instructor/Consultant, and actively involved in a number of volunteer organizations. He is a Fly Tying Instructor for the Gone Fishing program and has done tying demonstrations for various fly fishing shops. He is passionate about getting kids outdoors and giving back something – “to those who much has been given, much will be asked”. Miquelon also enjoys health & fitness, coaching youth sports, reading, and traveling with his family.

Shhheeez, Ralph. You coulda gave the guy a better sign on bonus than your old 26er turd. He'll likely fall down because of the tiny wheels.
Man, I thought quite highly of Kevin when I met him.

What Kevin doesn't know is that we will make him wear full head gear, leg and arm armor, some real moto stuff, then shove him down a hill with snipped cables. This will provide the love of the sport. ah yes, the love of the sport.
