Perhaps the nation's foremost expert on the Extreme Value Retail Channel, Ken Hartman has 19 years of experience in branded and private label sales, trade marketing, broker management and direct store delivery. After earning a degree in food marketing from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, Ken began his career at Kraft Foods, quickly rising from a territory manager to senior account manager at Kraft's parent company, Philip Morris. In 1995, Ken began a spectacular eight-year stint at ConAgra Foods, where he rose to the position of senior director-value discount channel. It was during this time that Ken began developing the successful model for creating business in Extreme Value Retail that became the basis for EVR Solutions.

Today, as president of EVR Solutions, Ken continues to blaze new trails in Extreme Value Retail, evolving and improving our company's services to best meet the needs of manufacturers and our primary customers: ALDI, Save-A-Lot and Dollar General.

 

As EVR Solutions' new director of marketing, Jamey Conrad will manage the company's daily operations, including client communications, improving infrastructure, and ensuring customer satisfaction.
