“Kim steps into this role ready to lead thanks to her depth of category management leadership in fresh and center store, her experience in e-commerce and her keen eye for merchandising,” said Ted Schnuck, executive vice president of supermarkets. “Her passion for developing talent as well as for serving customers position her for success as she returns to the Midwest for this leadership role with Schnucks.”
During her tenure at Hannaford Supermarkets, Gray held leadership roles with the United Way of Southern Maine and was honored by her colleagues with the prestigious John J. Russell Award for Excellence for innovative thinking, integrity and employee development.
With 19 years at Schnucks Cuba takes the helm as Schnucks’ first chief growth officer, overseeing the teams responsible for strategic planning, acquisitions, business development, real estate, store design, construction and maintenance. Prior to his post as chief merchant, Cuba held leadership roles at Schnucks in store operations and business development.
Both Gray and Cuba begin their new roles on Sept. 2 and will be members of the company’s strategy team, a group of executives who lead the overall direction and execution of the company.
