Performance Food Group ( (PFGC) ) just unveiled an update.
On December 18, 2025, Performance Food Group announced a leadership succession in which long-time Chairman and CEO George L. Holm will retire from the chief executive role and transition to Executive Chair of the board effective January 1, 2026, while Scott E. McPherson, currently president and chief operating officer, will become CEO and join the board as its 14th member on the same date. The move, described as the result of multi-year succession planning, keeps Holm focused on M&A, key customer relationships and strategic oversight, and elevates McPherson, a former Core-Mark CEO with more than 30 years’ industry experience, who played a central role in shaping PFG’s strategy and overseeing its core segments. In conjunction with the change, the board approved a substantial new compensation package for McPherson, including a higher base salary and performance-oriented equity awards tied to relative total shareholder return, while reducing Holm’s pay to reflect his new role, signaling a carefully managed transition designed to maintain strategic continuity and support the company’s growth and value-creation objectives for shareholders and other stakeholders.
