“Mama’s Creations, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAMA): Occasionally you run across an executive who is so outlandishly passionate about their job and the brand they represent, you can’t help but take notice. We first met Adam Michaels (CEO of MAMA) more than a year ago at an investor conference. Clad in mulberry shoes and sport coat, the exact brand colors of MAMA, he told us how he would take what was historically a subscale meatball manufacturer in suburban New Jersey and make it into one of the largest prepared foods and deli brands in the world. Frankly, we thought he had too many screws loose. Nonetheless, we were intrigued by the business and the category. Fresh and prepared foods in grocery stores has been a growing category, catalyzed by consumer demand for healthier, fast, and affordable food options. Grocery stores have been increasingly dedicating more food space to the category. Today, it is one of only a couple of categories that are seeing volume growth.

More importantly, he has spent the last two and a half years (he was appointed CEO in September 2022) building a world-class team. Michaels himself is no lightweight. He spent nearly a decade in a variety of roles at Mondelez from data analytics to leading M&A in its smaller brand venture portfolio. Since Michaels joined MAMA, he has hired Lauren Sella (former Chief Marketing Officer of Tate’s Bake Shop) as CMO, Skip Tappan (former Chief Supply Chain Officer at Gordon Food Service) as COO, and Chris Darling (former Executive Vice President Sales at Boar’s Head) as Chief Commercial Officer. CFO Anthony Gruber was appointed around the same time as Michaels, but our understanding is that Michael’s was working unofficially behind the scenes at MAMA to help with senior hires up to nine months before his official start date…” (Click here to read the full text)
