Foodstuffs North Island has announced the appointment of Gemma Croombs as GM Wholesale.

“This is a new position on our executive team,” said Foodstuffs North Island’s CEO Chris Quin. “We have been working to consolidate our wholesale team to one structure and have decided to appoint a new senior leader to focus on wholesale as one of our key initiatives.

“I am very pleased to announce that Gemma Croombs will be joining us on November 7. Her e-commerce and B2B sales experience will be hugely beneficial to us.

“Gemma’s most recent role was as an advisory to the executive team at Mediaworks, where she was in a Transformation Leadership role. Prior to that she was CEO of Morepork (a start-up company), sat on the executive team of Spark’s retail business, and worked at Sabre (American Airlines) in product and project management roles.
