Operations and become an Executive Board Member by January 1, 2024.

 

At Warby Parker, Stephanie Pullings Hart is responsible for manufacturing,
supply chain and customer experience. Prior to Warby Parker, Stephanie
Pullings Hart was the Senior Vice President of Global Operations for Beyond
Meat, where she transformed the company's manufacturing and supply chain
activities to help it achieve a significant sales increase. Until 2018,
Stephanie Pullings Hart had a successful 23-year career at Nestlé, with roles
of increasing responsibility in manufacturing, factory management, supply
chain, research and development and human resources. She worked in several of
our businesses and across multiple continents.

 

Mark Schneider, CEO, commented, "On behalf of our Board of Directors and our
Executive Board, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Magdi for his
many contributions to Nestlé. We wish him all the best for this next chapter.
At the same time, we are delighted that Stephanie is returning to Nestlé.
With her appointment, we are gaining a highly qualified leader with extensive
experience across all areas of operations, and a proven track record in
growing businesses. Her highly entrepreneurial and digital experience combined
with her knowledge of Nestlé make her the ideal leader to take us forward.
Welcome back, Stephanie!"
