The Company is seeking two Independent Directors to join its Board and contribute to the long-term success, governance effectiveness, and strategic growth of the organization. The ideal candidates will have a background in product-focused manufacturing, with a passion for helping privately held companies navigate growth, drive innovation, and strengthen governance.

Candidates for the Independent Director positions should have a minimum of 25 years' of executive leadership experience in manufacturing, industrial, engineering-focused, food service equipment, retail, consumer products, or related industries.

The role requires a strong understanding of customer-focused business models, channel strategy, and market dynamics, as well as experience in driving strategic growth, operational excellence, and product innovation. The ideal candidates will have a background in international distribution, supply chain management, and organizational scaling, and experience with founder-led, privately held, family-owned, or multigenerational enterprises. A Bachelor's degree is required, with an advanced degree and/or relevant professional certifications being valued.
