Kearney joined FoodChain ID in 2021 and most recently served as interim CEO during Brad Riemanapp‘s medical leave of absence.

Before joining the company, he spent 11 years at Staples Inc. in numerous leadership roles, most recently managing a multi-billion product division, and five years at McKinsey & Co.
“His collaborative leadership style and ability to rally the organization to achieve its goals make him the absolute right person to lead FoodChain ID in the next stage of its growth journey,” states Ted Rainaud, managing director at Berkshire Partners.
