Rosemont Market has announced the hire of a new CEO. Mark Law is taking on leadership of the the market and bakery from the longtime co-owner and CEO John Naylor.
“Mark shares my core values in operating a business that cares about people,” said Rosemont co-owner John Naylor, “As well as my passion for food and our mission to encourage people to eat the best quality food, and whenever possible from where they live. This past year, Mark has served as a consultant to our business, giving me full confidence that with Mark at the helm of Rosemont, we will strengthen our commitment to the community, our customers, and our food producing partners.”
Mark Law (linkedin) was the COO of New Seasons Market in Portland, Oregon for six years, and worked in a variety of leadership roles at Whole Foods in Boston and Boulder for twelve years prior to that.
Naylor will remain involved as the president of the company and chair of the board of directors while stepping back from overseeing day-to-day operations at Rosemont. Naylor will be redirecting his energies to working with local non-profits such as Farms for Food Equity and Fork Food Lab.
Rosemont has seven locations. The first market and bakery opened on Brighton Ave in the Rosemont neighborhood in 2005 by co-owners Scott Anderson and John Naylor.
