Former global finance lead for the Coca-Cola Company, Shellie Davis, bring robust experience to new role
CHICAGO, Ill. (September 21, 2021)- Egglife Foods, the disruptive food company that uses cage-free eggs instead of flour to transform ordinary carb-heavy foods, announces that CPG finance veteran Shellie Davis has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. As Egglife Foods, Inc. is quickly scaling and on track to deliver six times the revenue of the prior year, approaching 10,000 doors coast to coast, Davis will focus on streamlining financial processes, accelerating business decision making, managing revenue and finding efficiencies as the company continues on its rapid growth trajectory.
“I am excited to be joining such an innovative company and strong leadership team at Egglife Foods,” says Shellie Davis, Chief Financial Officer at Egglife Foods. “The company is not only growing rapidly, but is making products that are truly helping to modernize nutrition and solve problems for many consumers. I look forward to applying my finance experience, particularly in the CPG category, to help this brand transform the future of food.”
Davis brings over 30 years of experience in consumer goods and professional finance services. Prior to joining Egglife Foods, Davis served as CFO, Global Ventures for The Coca-Cola Company, where she was responsible for the financial integration, performance, consolidation and controls of multiple acquired businesses. Prior to her role as CFO, Davis was Group Director, M&A and Industry Insights for 10 years at the Coca-Cola Company, where she led the strategic and financial evaluation of companies, businesses and technologies that could accelerate long term growth and closed almost $9 billion in transactions.
Davis joins a team of all-star consumer packaged goods executives led by Chief Executive Officer David Kroll who was appointed in the fall of 2019; Cynthia Waggoner, Chief Supply Chain Officer, who started with the company in January of 2019; Ross Lipari, Chief Sales Officer, who came on board in January of 2020; and Andrea Schwenk, Vice President of Marketing, who joined Egglife Foods full-time in June of 2020. Kroll previously served as Chief Executive Officer of the Chicago-based coconut water startup Coco5 and, before that, as Chief Marketing Officer at MillerCoors.
“Shellie’s many years of experience in the CPG space will be such an asset to our company, and accentuates our best-in-class leadership team” says David Kroll, Chief Executive Officer at Egglife Foods. “Shellie is joining at a critical time for Egglife Foods, as we are in the midst of a rapid growth trajectory that is only accelerating.
