ARLINGTON, Va. — Michael Jackson is expected to be named today as the successor to Thomas K. Zaucha as president and chief executive officer of the National Grocers Association here, Supermarket News has learned. Zaucha said in June he planned to retire next summer as NGA's top executive after 27 years in the post.
Jackson had served as president and chief operating officer of Supervalu, Minneapolis, until his resignation Aug. 14; he had also been serving as chairman of NGA's board and was head of the search committee to find a successor to Zaucha.
Jackson spent 29 years with Supervalu, starting as a retail counselor and working his way up through various divisions to become president of the Tacoma division in 1991; president of the Northwest region in 1995; corporate senior vice president of retail operations, 1999; and executive vice president, distribution food companies, in 2001.
