The NCG (National Co+op Grocers) has appointed Tandy Harvey as their next Chief Executive Officer, following a months-long planned succession process. Harvey assumed her role on January 1st, 2026, succeeding CEO C.E. Pugh, who is retiring. Harvey brings more than 30 years of wholesale and retail food industry experience, including senior leadership roles at SuperValu and UNFI. Known for her people-first leadership style, Harvey has built her career championing employee engagement and fostering a collaborative environment. “Throughout a rigorous national search, Tandy impressed us with her strong background, her understanding of the grocery landscape and her clear passion for the cooperative model,” said NCG Board President Sarah Christensen. Harvey has already begun working closely with Pugh and the NCG leadership team to support a smooth transition. Pugh, who has served as NCG’s CEO since 2018, had previously announced plans to conclude a decades-long career in the cooperative grocery sector at the end of 2025.
