Superior Farms hired Kenneth Wilks as the vice president of sales for its pet division, Superior Farms Pet Provisions (SFPP). Wilks most recently served as the sales and marketing director for the pet division of W.F. Young, Inc. He has an extensive pet food marketing portfolio that spans more than 15 years promoting specialty products to consumers of the pet food industry.
Gary Pfeiffer, president of SFPP, led the search. “As Superior Farms Pet Provisions continues to expand its reach and deliver new and exciting products, I felt that it was essential to have someone on board who knows pet food sales inside and out. Ken Wilks is that guy and we are really excited to welcome him into the Superior Farms Family,” said Pfeiffer. “Ken’s experience growing natural brands includes the widespread introduction of raw frozen food to the pet specialty channel at Nature’s Variety and the early growth of Merrick brand pet foods and treats. Ken will help Superior Farms capitalize on their supply-side vertical integration with the launch of natural pet foods & treats that are increasingly sourced ‘from our farms to you.’”
Sacramento, Calif.-based SFPP offers natural, wholesome treats and chews made from 100 percent lamb, venison, and other natural proteins. SFPP also markets the Mary’s Free Range line of raw organic pet diets.
“Rachel’s company 3P Partners in Davis, CA found me as an employment candidate for one of her clients. The interview & hiring process was seamless, and Rachel and her team were incredible throughout with communication that is second to none. All in all 3P made this a great experience and I’m incredibly happy with my new job. Thank you Rachel!”
