Excell, Nissco Tap New Director of Business Development

Denver-based Excell and Nissco buying groups have promoted Devyn Kelly to director of business development.

Kelly, who has over a decade of experience in foodservice industry buying groups, joined Excell and Nissco in 2021 as business development manager. In her elevated role, she will manage relationships with new and existing vendors and dealers across the organization, negotiate contracts and assist with strategy execution.

She also will lead the supply chain initiative with Excell and Nissco’s consulting partner, Maine Pointe, to develop solutions to benefit vendor and dealer partners.

“Vendor and dealer partnerships are paramount to our success at Excell and Nissco. In fact, they are the reason we exist. Devyn’s experience, industry expertise and passion for personally connecting with industry partners are a perfect fit for moving our members and their businesses forward,” says Mike Jewett, who took the reins as CEO of Excell and Nissco in late August, in a press release.
