Commercial Bakeries names new CEO

Shawn Warren, Commercial Bakeries CEO (CNW Group/COMMERCIAL BAKERIES CORP)

TORONTO — Following its recent acquisition by Graham Partners, Commercial Bakeries Corp. announces the appointment of Shawn Warren, an industry executive with packaged food products experience, spanning cookies, crackers, snacks, and confectionary, as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Shawn spent the majority of his career with Kraft Foods (subsequently Mondelez International), culminating in senior leadership roles as the President & Chairman of Mondelez China and Senior Vice President, Strategy & Biscuits, for the Asia-Pacific region, where the biscuit business grew over his tenure. Most recently, Shawn returned to Canada to serve as the President & CEO of GreenSpace Brands, where he orchestrated the sale of Love Child Organics earlier this year.

Phil Fusco, Anthony Fusco Jr., and Joe Fusco will continue to remain involved with Commercial Bakeries over the next year to support the transition. The contributions of the Fusco family over the past ~30 years have played a pivotal role in driving Commercial Bakeries’ growth and success, and the Company wishes them all the best for the future.

In his new role, Shawn is focused on accelerating growth, while reportedly remaining committed to driving innovation and value for Commercial Bakeries’ customers.
