T.A. Solberg Co. Inc. has promoted Nathan Weitz to president of retail. Bob Jaskolski, who has served as president and CEO, will continue in the latter role and focus on long-term strategy while Weitz assumes responsibility for retail operations.
The leadership transition reflects T.A. Solberg’s promote-from-within philosophy. Weitz has nearly 30 years of grocery industry experience, including more than two decades with the company.
Weitz joined T.A. Solberg in 2004 and has advanced through a series of leadership roles, including grocery manager, director of center store merchandising and most recently VP of retail.
“Nate has been a cornerstone of our leadership team for years,” Jaskolski said. “Watching him grow from a department manager to a corporate leader has been a point of pride for this company.
“His deep understanding of operational excellence and his commitment to our customers make him the perfect choice to lead our retail operations. Nate’s ability to lead high-caliber teams while staying true to the organization’s core values has been a driving force behind the company’s continued growth.”
In his new role, Weitz will oversee the strategic direction of T.A. Solberg’s grocery and convenience store divisions, leading all retail operations and ensuring service standards across the company’s locations.
Weitz is described as a hands-on leader with a strong connection to the communities the company serves. He resides locally with his wife and two children and is active in outdoor pursuits, including golf and fishing.
