chief supply chain officer is stepping down at the end of the month, the company said, days after the plant-based meat company suspended a separate senior executive.
Bernie Adcock
notified Beyond on Tuesday that he would leave his position at the end of the month to “pursue another opportunity,” according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday.
His departure comes as the plant-based meat company has tried to scale up its operations. On Tuesday, the company suspended
Doug Ramsey,
its chief operating officer, following Mr. Ramsey’s arrest in connection with what local authorities said was a fight in an Arkansas parking garage. Mr. Ramsey was arrested after a physical altercation in which he allegedly bit a person’s nose and threatened to kill him, according to a police report and county records.
Mr. Ramsey didn’t respond to previous requests for comment. Beyond Meat said Tuesday that Mr. Ramsey had been suspended effective immediately and that Jonathan Nelson, senior vice president of manufacturing operations, would oversee operations on an interim basis. Mr. Ramsey didn’t respond Friday to requests for comment.
Both Mr. Adcock and Mr. Ramsey joined Beyond Meat in December after decadeslong careers at meat giant Tyson Foods Inc. Beyond that month said it was appointing the executives during a time of “rapid innovation and commercialization” for the company, and that the pair would play a key role in building the company’s operations, supply chain, and manufacturing.
The executives were also tasked with working to achieve cost savings as Beyond seeks to make some of its products match the price of traditional meat.
Beyond didn’t have further comment Friday.
Beyond’s filing said that Mr. Adcock’s duties would be filled by Mr. Nelson, its current senior vice president of manufacturing operations. It said the role of chief supply chain officer had been eliminated.
