Andronico’s newest board member, an experienced chief financial officer, completes the company’s all female executive board.
Cheryl Hughes has been appointed as the new chief financial officer for Andronico’s Community Markets. This final addition to the company’s executive board follows the recent appointment of CEO Suzy Monford leads, making it an all female team.
Hughes formerly held the role of Controller for Chemoil, a global oil trading organization and a retail maritime fuel supplier, based in San Francisco. She was the highest ranking U.S. finance executive reporting directly to the global chief financial officer for the company. Prior to this role she was chief financial officer at Pacific Convenience & Fuels based in Pleasanton, Calif. Her career in food and retail dates back to her role as director of U.S. finance with Circle K Stores Inc. where during her 15 year tenure there, she was responsible for accounting, finance, tax and risk management with over $12 billion in annual revenue.
“We’re extremely excited to have Cheryl on our team,” said Suzy Monford, CEO. “She has an incredible wealth of knowledge in finance and can help change and improve processes that will keep our team focused on how they can best deliver value for our customers.”
Born and raised Wisconsin, Hughes moved to Arizona for Circle K and then to California with her husband and their two daughters.
“I’m very happy to be back in retail and I love the Andronico’s team. I see so many opportunities for growth and improvement with the talented team here and ways to streamline finances and cash flow. We don’t need to spend a lot of money to maximize what we are doing. I’m focused on the backend processing so those on the front lines can be focused on creating exciting new programs for the coming months.”
