SPRINGDALE, ARK. — Tyson Foods, Inc. has named Jeff Schomburger as its new president and chief executive officer. He will take over leadership of the company on Oct. 4.

Schomburger will succeed Donnie King, who has been president and CEO since 2021.

Schomburger has been a member of Tyson Foods’ board of directors since 2016. Prior to that he had worked for Procter & Gamble for 35 years in a variety of leadership positions. He retired from the company as global sales officer in 2019.

“The board and I are confident in Jeff Schomburger’s ability to lead Tyson Foods into its next chapter of growth,” said John H. Tyson, chairman of the board of Tyson Foods. “His experience will help us accelerate our strategic priorities and unlock new ways to win with customers and consumers — a key focus of our growth strategy. The board looks forward to working with Jeff to drive sustainable growth, enhance shareholder value, and build on the strong momentum Tyson Foods has established.”

King will remain on Tyson Foods’ board of directors once the leadership transition is complete.

“Donnie King’s long tenure at Tyson Foods, including his leadership as CEO, has strengthened our business and shaped our culture,” Tyson added. “We are grateful for his steady guidance and look forward to continuing to leverage his expertise within the board.”

Friday question: What is one BBQ connection you are grateful for?

A mentor? A customer? A teammate? A sponsor? A friend? A competitor who became family? That is the heart of this industry. Barbecue is stronger when we remember the people who helped us along the way.

Tag them and tell them thank you.

Events are where barbecue comes alive.

The smells, sounds, teams, sponsors, crowds, education, sampling, live fire, and friendships all create momentum for the industry. Barbecue events bring people together in a way few things can. NBBQA believes in building more connection around the fire — from conferences and competitions to festivals, classes, public days, and industry gatherings.

What makes a BBQ event unforgettable?
