#WeAreUNFI 💚 “I was hired in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., in January 1991 as a Transportation Clerk. In my first year, I held four different positions, focusing on learning as much as possible with the goal of becoming a strong asset to the company. That curiosity and work ethic led me through a variety of roles—from Transportation and Warehouse leadership to General Manager at our Green Bay distribution center. Over my 35-year career with UNFI, what I’m most proud of is the impact our teams have had supporting retailers. Leadership is about listening, investing in people, and building trust so everyone feels valued and moving toward the same goal. Together, we strive to be better every day and I’m grateful to be part of this amazing Green Bay team.” Renee Spear, General Manager, Green Bay Distribution Center
