“Coming from Stonyfield, Carlos knows first-hand the importance of upholding our brand values of clean ingredient labels and lower sugar, the values which have made our brand so highly relevant today,” said Siggi Hilmarsson, founder of siggi’s, the fastest growing dairy yogurt brand in the United States. “His strong expertise in the yogurt category, both in natural and more traditional classes of trade, is also a great boon to the siggi’s team."
With the rise in consumer demand for cleaner, higher quality foods with lower sugar, the company views this as the optimal time to catapult siggi’s forward and that Altschul will play a critical role in its ongoing success. Bringing extensive experience within yogurt, Altschul will oversee all aspects of the business, including bringing forth new and aggressive go-to-market strategies and innovations, expanding distribution, and accelerating awareness and penetration growth.
Prior to joining siggi’s, Altschul was vice president of sales at Stonyfield, where he led field sales, go-to-market strategies, and shopper marketing across the brand’s portfolio. He also previously held senior positions at Danone, where he oversaw sales strategy and category management under the master brand portfolio.
Altschul replaces Bart Adlam, siggi’s former president and CEO, who has left the company to pursue a new business opportunity.
