Heller was retained to recruit a Chief Information Officer for Legacy Food Group, a company created to acquire high-quality regional independent distributors that become owned operating divisions. By knitting together multiple distributors, Legacy Food Group achieves macro-scale effectiveness with local-market nimbleness, preserving the differences that work for independents while achieving synergies that can greatly benefit the divisions. For this role, we identified Jim Connolly, who most recently served as Vice President of Information Technology for LBB Specialties. Prior to that, he was Director of Information Technology for Concord Foods. Connolly holds a B.S. from Villanova University and an M.S. from Boston College.
