Neil Falcone takes over from company veteran Doug Wille as CFO
Retail grocery cooperative Wakefern Food Corp. has appointed Neil Falcone as chief financial officer and Karen Meleta as chief communications officer, a newly created position.
Keasbey, N.J.-based Wakefern said Friday that Falcone, formerly vice president of ShopRite Financial Services (SFS) and corporate finance, succeeds Douglas Wille, who retired as CFO after serving in that role since 2007.
Wakefern noted that Falcone (left) brings significant retail experience to the CFO role, in which he and his finance team are developing key tools and technology to provide financial services and analysis for the cooperative’s members and supermarket banners.
