Kleinpeter Dairy announced last week that Jeff Kleinpeter is retiring as president and CEO after more than 25 years at the helm of the family-owned business. In a story from Daily Report, Stephanie Riegel writes that Kleinpeter’s sister, Sue Anne Kleinpeter Cox, who has served as the company’s chief financial officer, will replace him.
The dairy announced the move in a written statement provided to news organizations today, nearly two months after Kleinpeter stepped down from his position, for what his family members said at the time was temporary medical leave.
In a statement of his own last week, Jeff Kleinpeter says that during his leave he had a chance to regroup and “felt like it was time to pass the baton to some other family members and team members to carry us forward and allow me to go in another direction.”
