🔑 Dan Epley, Vice President, Dry Grocery, Whole Foods
Over the past several years Whole Foods has made changes to its regional map and buyer structure, not to mention endured pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. Yet throughout the shifts and crises, Dan Epley has helped continue to improve the offerings sold at the natural products retailer, in particular, championing its assortment of local foods and helping revamp its private label program. Epley, the VP of dry grocery and an eight year veteran of the company, takes to almost every trade show floor, meeting with supplier partners both old and new. He’s a hard buyer to impress but a staunch supporter of the brands he takes.
