Amy's Kitchen announced that Paul Schiefer has been promoted to chief executive officer, with co-founder Andy Berliner transitioning to executive chairman of the board. The move marks a planned milestone in a multi-year leadership transition and reflects the company's continued evolution, pairing nearly 40 years of heritage with a focus on staying relevant for the next generation of consumers.
Schiefer, who has served as president since 2023, brings more than two decades of experience across nearly every area of the business, from his early days as a manufacturing intern to leading international expansion, sustainability initiatives, and enterprise-wide transformation. Under his leadership as president, the company delivered its strongest gross margin performance in a decade and improved profitability by 60 percent.
"This transition reflects the strength of our team and the foundation we've built together. Amy's has always been about doing the right thing – for our food, our people, and our planet. As CEO, I'm committed to protecting that legacy while ensuring our values continue to resonate with the next generation of consumers who care just as much as we do about what's in their food and how it's made," said Schiefer.
As CEO, Schiefer will focus on three core priorities: advancing innovation to keep Amy's at the forefront of food culture, reinforcing the company's leadership in sustainability and responsible business practices, and driving operational excellence to fuel long-term growth. These build on recent efforts to engage more directly in conversations shaping the future of food, including transparency around how food is made and the role of responsible business in rebuilding consumer trust.
"Paul has been instrumental in navigating some of our most important chapters. He understands what makes this company special and how to carry that forward. His leadership, insight, and connection to our values made him the clear choice to lead Amy's into the future," said Berliner.
