Middleby Appoints Consultant Services Executive

Middleby announced last week that Ryan Norman has rejoined the company as vice president of consultant services. He’ll lead efforts to promote the company’s brands across the foodservice consultant community.

“We are excited to welcome Ryan back to Middleby to lead our Consultant Services team,” says Will Means, group president, in the release. “He brings a wealth of culinary experience, vast product knowledge and deeply established industry relationships to Middleby.”

Middleby states that, to optimize support for the channel, the Middleby consultant services team will now report directly to Will Means, who also oversees dealer buying group relationships. The realignment unifies channel operations, reduces friction and enhances the overall Middleby go-to-market execution.

Norman will be supported by the established Middleby team of Hannah Guy, Madison Fitzgerald and Oliver Eaglen. Prior to this role and rejoining Middleby, Norman served as the director of consultant services.
