LANCASTER, Texas — May 15, 2024 — FreshRealm, the leading national end-to-end fresh meals platform, announced today the recent appointment of Stacey Wallace as its chief supply chain officer. As part of the executive team, Wallace will oversee the company’s supply chain, planning and fulfillment functions, further optimizing FreshRealm’s best-in-class infrastructure built for short-shelf-life products and servicing all channels of distribution.

“FreshRealm is on a mission to fundamentally transform how food is developed, manufactured and fulfilled. The appointment of Stacey as chief supply chain officer marks a noteworthy event for our organization,” said Michael Lippold, founder & CEO of FreshRealm. “Her proven track record and expertise in supply chain optimization will be instrumental in further enhancing our operational efficiency, driving innovation across the company and delivering sustainable growth. We look forward to achieving new heights of success together.”

Wallace is an accomplished leader, having spent nearly 15 years at Amazon in senior positions within Amazon Fresh, Kindle, Amazon Books, Amazon Go, and Fulfillment By Amazon. There, she owned pivotal initiatives to drive efficiencies, innovation, and significant cost savings for multi-billion-dollar business lines. Wallace joins FreshRealm from Redbubble Group, where she served as chief supply chain officer, driving the company to profitability by improving customer fulfillment time and product quality and reducing COGs.

Since joining FreshRealm, Wallace has already added talented leaders with experience at Chewy, Amazon, and Target to the team. Her unique skill set will bring considerable value to the organization.
