At Utz, our people make all the difference. Their dedication, care, and commitment turn everyday work into something bigger. We’re proud to celebrate Mary Trent, Brian Whitfield, and Courtney Kerner, three team members who’ve built lasting careers through continuous leadership, learning, and a shared commitment to excellence. Mary began her career at Utz 11 years ago as a part-time Chip Packer and worked her way to Plant Manager. With a curious mindset and openness to learn, she continues to bring people together by building relationships, trust, and creating teams that thrive through collaboration. Brian started as a Senior Plant Finance Analyst and now leads as Plant Manager at our King’s Mountain facility. 4 years later, his continued focus on empowering others and driving operational excellence shows how new ideas and teamwork can create lasting progress. Courtney has spent 15 years growing with Utz, from Chip Packer to Production Manager at King’s Mountain. She’s led teams through change, developed training programs, and continues to inspire others to keep learning, turning opportunity into impact. Every day, it’s the contributions of people like Mary, Brian, and Courtney that help Utz grow, as a company and as a community. Please join us in congratulating them on their well-deserved recent promotions! #UtzBrands #EmployeeSpotlight #GrowthFromWithin #InvestInExcellence #TeamUtz

We're pleased to announce that William J K. (pictured left) will join Utz Brands, Inc. as EVP, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, effective May 1st. Bill brings deep financial expertise and operational experience across some of the most respected names in food and beverage. We are excited to welcome him to Utz as we continue executing our long-term growth strategy. He will succeed Ajay Kataria. Utz extends our gratitude to Ajay for his leadership and impact over the past eight years, the last four as CFO — his contributions were many, including as part of our public listing in 2020, multiple acquisitions and integrations, as well as a major ERP installation; all were instrumental in building our financial foundation. We wish Ajay all the best. In addition, we are pleased to announce that Jeremy Stuart (pictured right) has been appointed as EVP, Sales & Chief Customer Officer. This appointment comes on the heels of the retirement of Mark Schreiber, who will retire effective May 31, 2025. Mr. Schreiber joined Utz in 2017 and held multiple leadership roles across both Sales and Marketing. During his tenure, Utz’s annual sales grew significantly, supported by successful acquisitions, distribution expansions, and brand integrations. Jeremy's deep understanding of the customer landscape and operational focus make him the ideal leader to build on Mark’s legacy and take our customer partnerships to the next level. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Bill Kelley and congratulations to Jeremy Stuart! 👏 Our sincere thanks to Ajay and Mark for their hard work and dedication to Utz during their tenures.
