KEVIN COX

I am looking to further my career with Model Dairy in a management role. Being in management roles (with Nestle and Model Dairy) for over 29 years, my passion continues to be in leading and motivating people. I love the challenges that come in a goal-oriented environment and working with a team to exceed those goals. Model Dairy is a brand that I believe in and a general management position allows me to promote the brand in a customer concentric setting as well as a manufacture focused setting. I am energetic and very personable. I enjoy helping others succeed and wish to leave my legacy with Model Dairy as a dedicated and successful general manager.
