Naismith

Livingston

Mallory

PCC Community Markets announced three executive hires: Chris Naismith as chief financial officer; Susan Livingston as vice president of marketing and purpose; and Michele Mallory now serves as vice president of IT. These three leaders complete the executive team that will guide PCC into the future with a newly defined three-year strategic plan under the leadership of Krish Srinivasan, who stepped into the role of president and CEO in January. Naismith has more than two decades of experience with consumer retail for both public and privately held companies. She started her career in public accounting and went on to hold CFO or senior financial roles at Walt Disney, Gap, Williams Sonoma, Microsoft and Sur La Table. Livingston's hire marks a new era for PCC, as she leads the merger of the marketing and social and environmental responsibility teams to form the co-op's first Marketing + Purpose department. She comes to PCC as a brand marketing and social impact leader with more than 25 years of cross-sector experience. She bridged from her early career in public health policy into purpose-driven brand strategy for consumer brands, including Nike and Whole Foods Market. In her new role, Livingston's focus will be optimizing private sector resources, systems, and teams to deliver scaled social impact solutions through PCC's triple bottom line business strategy. Mallory has over 20 years of technology experience across multiple industries. She will oversee all aspects of the planning, development and maintenance of PCC's information systems, technologies, and processes to support brick and mortar retail, online/digital and e-commerce. Founded in Seattle in 1953, PCC operates 16 stores in the Puget Sound area.
