PCC Community Markets

Srinivasan

PCC Community Markets announced that CEO and President Krishnan “Krish” Srinivasan plans to retire on Jan. 29, 2027, after more than eight years with the organization. Srinivasan will remain in his role while the co-op's Board of Trustees conducts a national search for his successor and will help support the leadership transition.

Srinivasan joined PCC as chief financial officer in 2018 and became the co-op's seventh CEO in 2022. A longtime PCC member and shopper since the 1990s, he said the decision to retire followed significant personal reflection and comes as the organization is well positioned for its next chapter.

During his tenure, Srinivasan helped guide PCC through challenges stemming from the pandemic, including rising costs and supply chain disruptions. Under his leadership, PCC more than doubled its membership, secured two collective bargaining agreements with industry-leading compensation and benefits, and returned to long-term financial stability. The co-op reported $487.8 million in net sales in 2025, an 8.4% increase from the previous year.

Before becoming CEO, Srinivasan served as PCC's CFO (2018—2022) and held leadership positions at Microsoft, Amazon, Lyft and Remitly. He has also contributed his expertise through board service with the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Seattle Association, and National Co-op Grocers, among others.

Board Chair Joe Rogoff praised Srinivasan for strengthening PCC's financial foundation, re-engaging members, and establishing a strategic vision for the future.

Srinivasan will continue leading the organization through the transition and oversee key initiatives, including the opening of PCC's 17th store in Seattle's Madison Valley neighborhood later this year.
