Peggy Davies has blazed a path that inspires respect, loyalty and affection among customers, colleagues, subordinates, and industry peers alike… from her early involvement on the broker side of the business, to executive positions in private label sales for Birds Eye and, subsequently, at McCain Foods USA, where she served as Vice President for Store Brands, then Vice President for Industrial Sales. She has made remarkable contributions to the industry. She has raised the overall standards of professionalism among executives across all sectors through initiatives that focus intelligence, insight and a unique talent for forging enduring relationships upon shared objectives. Nothing exemplifies her drive and her dedication better than her work to found WISE – Women Impacting Storebrands Excellence – a long overdue force for the recognition and professional advancement of women in store brands manufacturing, retailing and throughout the industry. It’s not surprising Peggy would become the first woman to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of PLMA, joined PLMA as Vice President, Industry Relations, and ultimately succeeded Brian Sharoff as PLMA President.
