Tyson Foods has reached out from their company bench to appoint Brady Stewart as Group President of Tyson Fresh Meats. Stewart will report to Donnie King, President and CEO of Tyson Foods, and will be responsible for expanding the company's red meat business.
Stewart will replace Shane Miller who is retiring after more than 30 years of service. A smooth transition is anticipated as operations move to the expanded Tyson Foods corporate headquarters in Northwest Arkansas.
Stewart is currently COO of Smithfield Foods, having worked for the company since 2017 when his employer, Kansas City Sausage was acquired. In his most recent role at Smithfield, he was responsible for 500 
company-owned hog farms and 46 production facilities and the associated supply chain.
In accepting the position Stewart noted, "the reputation of Tyson Foods and its products is world renowned and I am delighted to be joining the team to help drive growth and deliver for its customers and consumers.
