Grande, CEO of Quirch Foods, is a seasoned operating executive with more than 40 years of leadership experience across food distribution, CPG, marketing, and global supply chain operations. He has a proven track record of scaling founder-led businesses into institutional-quality platforms and partnering effectively with private equity sponsors, boards, and strategic stakeholders to drive sustainable value creation.\r\n\r\nAs President &amp; CEO of Quirch Foods, Frank led the transformation of a $300 million regional distributor into a $5 billion national and international protein distribution platform, operating 24 distribution centers across the United States and Latin America. His leadership emphasized operational scalability, disciplined capital allocation, and rigorous execution across commercial, supply chain, and enterprise functions.\r\n\r\nFrank played a central role in the 2018 sale of Quirch Foods to Palladium Equity Partners and subsequently led the company through a multi-year private equity value-creation plan. This plan included six acquisitions between 2020 and 2025, enterprise-wide integration, systems modernization, and senior-talent development. Under his leadership, EBITDA increased more than fivefold over the past seven years to over $160 million in 2025, driven by strategic acquisitions, organic growth, margin expansion, disciplined cost management, and improved working capital performance. Leveraging technology has been a key contributor to the company\u2019s development over the past five years.\r\n\r\nMost recently, Frank helped lead a $1.1 billion refinancing, strengthening the company\u2019s capital structure and positioning the business for continued growth, M&amp;A execution, and long-term strategic flexibility. He is widely recognized for building high-performing management teams, implementing KPI-driven operating cadences, and aligning organizations around clear strategic and financial priorities.\r\n\r\nFrank serves on the Board of Directors of Quirch Foods and advises Palladium Equity Partners on portfolio strategy. He is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and is actively engaged in community and educational initiatives.<\/p>\n                                    <div

Grande, CEO of Quirch Foods, is a seasoned operating executive with more than 40 years of leadership experience across food distribution, CPG, marketing, and global supply chain operations. He has a proven track record of scaling founder-led businesses into institutional-quality platforms and partnering effectively with private equity sponsors, boards, and strategic stakeholders to drive sustainable value creation.<\/p>\n<p>As President &amp; CEO of Quirch Foods, Frank led the transformation of a $300 million regional distributor into a $5 billion national and international protein distribution platform, operating 24 distribution centers across the United States and Latin America. His leadership emphasized operational scalability, disciplined capital allocation, and rigorous execution across commercial, supply chain, and enterprise functions.<\/p>\n<p>Frank played a central role in the 2018 sale of Quirch Foods to Palladium Equity Partners and subsequently led the company through a multi-year private equity value-creation plan. This plan included six acquisitions between 2020 and 2025, enterprise-wide integration, systems modernization, and senior-talent development. Under his leadership, EBITDA increased more than fivefold over the past seven years to over $160 million in 2025, driven by strategic acquisitions, organic growth, margin expansion, disciplined cost management, and improved working capital performance. Leveraging technology has been a key contributor to the company\u2019s development over the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Frank helped lead a $1.1 billion refinancing, strengthening the company\u2019s capital structure and positioning the business for continued growth, M&amp;A execution, and long-term strategic flexibility. He is widely recognized for building high-performing management teams, implementing KPI-driven operating cadences, and aligning organizations around clear strategic and financial priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Frank serves on the Board of Directors of Quirch Foods and advises Palladium Equity Partners on portfolio strategy. He is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and is actively engaged in community and educational initiatives.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n
