Tyson Foods Inc. of Springdale said Monday that it has filled the newly-created role of vice president of e-commerce with Tim Madigan, the former global e-commerce director of SC Johnson & Son of Racine, Wisconsin.
In the new role, Madigan will lead the development and execution of the company's e-commerce strategy and the direct relationships with all pure-play, online retailers.
"Given Tim's extensive experience, we believe he'll have an immediate impact on our ability to succeed in this critical channel, which we expect to deliver growth for many years to come," said Brett Van de Bovenkamp, Tyson Foods' senior vice president of customer growth capabilities.
Madigan will report to Van de Bovenkamp and will be based in the company's Chicago office.
Madigan began at Procter & Gamble in 1997 as a sales account manager, overseeing clients including Walmart and Sam's Club. In 2009, he established the P&G e-commerce relationship with Walmart and earned three Supplier of the Year awards from Walmart, Tyson Foods said.
In May 2014, he joined SC Johnson & Son as director of e-commerce in North America, and a year later expanded responsibility as the director of global e-commerce, responsible for developing e-commerce strategies, capabilities and infrastructure across the entire portfolio of SCJ products and markets.
