PCC Community Markets has confirmed that President and CEO Suzy Monford has left the co-op, effective Saturday, August 7. She is succeeded on an interim basis by Brad Brown, retired REI executive and former PCC board member who served as interim CEO in 2020 before Monford was appointed president and CEO last December.
“I have made the difficult decision to leave PCC to pursue other career opportunities,” said Monford, in a statement. “Being part of PCC has been a very rewarding experience and I am fortunate to have been part of the co-op community.”
The search for a new CEO is underway.
“On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Suzy for helping lead the co-op and also want to express our confidence in Brad and the PCC leadership team to continue PCC’s work supporting our staff, members, customers and communities we serve while we search for a new CEO,” said Paul Davis, Chair of the PCC Board of Trustees, in a statement. “We are passionate about delivering on PCC’s mission, vision and values, and our 2021 priorities, including the relocation of our beloved Kirkland PCC store, have not changed.”
