The Food Industry Association has promoted two leaders at the organization, Steve Markenson and Kelli Windsor, both of whom have improved the food and consumer products industries through insights and online communications, according to FMI.
Markenson has been appointed VP of research & insights. He oversaw more than 40 research and insights projects in 2022 and spearheaded FMI’s new research & insights committee. Over the last six years with the company, he has developed transparency protocols in data collection and research to align with industry standards. Before joining FMI, Markenson owned and operated a strategic insights firm.
Windsor has been promoted to senior director of digital communications. She assumed oversight of the overall strategy of the company website in 2021 and is a steward of the FMI website UX, social media analytics, and member engagement, managing the internal cross-functional and cross-departmental FMI editorial board to drive readership of the FMI Voice of Food Industry blog and online resources. Over the last nine years, she has supported and instructed FMI’s social media and digital strategy.
“Our team members’ performance aligns with where the food industry is investing in talent to create better connections and engagements through modern communications and marketing strategies. It’s a great pleasure to tout my colleagues’ contributions that hone our industry’s insights and effectively serve our members,” said Heather Garlich, FMI SVP of communications, marketing, and consumer/community affairs, in a statement.
