Former Nestlé Canada exec boards UNFI

 UNFI has hired Rachel D’Sa as director for FP&A (financial planning and analysis).

 D’Sa replaces Neil Persad, who was promoted to a remote corporate FP&A role, reporting to UNFI US.

She brings more than 17 years of experience in finance to the role. She previously spent 16 years at Nestlé Canada, most recently serving as corporate planning manager. 

D’Sa reports to Andy Hull, VP of finance

“I would like to thank Neil for all his leadership and hard work on the UNFI Canada business and wish him the best of luck in his new position. I imagine we’ll see Neil from time to time as he may continue to book space in Concord for meetings or to visit the market,” Hull wrote in an internal memo shared with Canadian Grocer.
