Dirty Hands’ Post

Meet Jack Neeley 🤝 Jack is our Midwest Regional Sales Manager! He helps our brands acquire, retain, and expand business at key retailers in the Great Lakes like Meijer and Fresh Thyme. 💼 EXPERIENCE: "I got my start stocking shelves at Meijer in college. There I learned the basic industry jargon, as well as the value of good merchandising and how great of an effect it can have on a brand's performance. In September 2020, Grant Burgess hired me as his first employee at Burgess Strategic Advisors (BSA). I did a bit of everything: helping with category review submissions, managing and setting up items and promotions with distributors, and calling on just about every small to medium-sized account at one point or another. The broad range of tasks and rapid growth of the company helped to accelerate my development as a competent professional in the industry. In my current role, I help to acquire, retain, and expand our brands' business at key retail chains in the Midwest like Meijer and Fresh Thyme." 🌟 PROUD MOMENT: "Mergers can be challenging for everyone, but they also present unique opportunities. I thrive on well-structured systems, and while the merger of Dirty Hands and BSA initially disrupted mine, it pushed me to innovate and improve. Through quick thinking and an adaptive mindset, the merger has enhanced my strength and resilience." #dirtyhands #cpg #naturalfoodindustry #teammemberspotlight #teammembertuesday

Meet Salleigh Knox 🤝 Salleigh is our Associate Director of Brand Strategy! She specializes in strategic management that drives tailored growth for our brands at different stages in their lifecycle. 💼 EXPERIENCE: "I'm the person who studied Food & Nutrition and managed to pursue a career related to my field of study! Starting as the first employee at an extra-scrappy food startup, advancing to a headquarter buyer, and navigating through various brand management positions, these roles have equipped me with the expertise to effectively advise brands, forge successful retail strategies, and surpass revenue targets on a national scale."  🌟 PROUD MOMENT: "The development of Brokerage has been an unparalleled journey! Working with a team that shares a deep passion for our brands and vision for top-tier brokerage has been both challenging and fulfilling. Witnessing the progress of our long-standing partners, who have adapted through various phases of our brokerage, and our continued commitment to their growth, is incredibly gratifying. When a brand is successful, I feel successful." ⛰️OUTSIDE OF WORK: "Outside of work, I love to be outdoors! Whether it is hiking or paddleboarding, when the weather in nice in Seattle, you can catch me outside. I love to travel with my family and experience different cultures and see our amazing world. A trip we're looking forward to is the Olympics this summer, we're excited to get back to France and experience the Summer Games live!" #dirtyhands #cpg #naturalfoodindustry #teammemberspotlight #teammembertuesday
