SALT LAKE CITY — Kneaders Bakery & Café announced Tuesday that David Vincent, current Kneaders chief financial officer, assumed the role of president and CFO on July 1. Vincent will continue to work closely with the executive team and oversee the growth of Kneaders Bakery & Café as it continues to use only the highest-quality ingredients to create European hearth breads, delicious sandwiches, homemade pastries, hearty soups and refreshing salads across the Western United States.
“I am excited to continue my work with Kneaders Bakery & Café as President and CFO,” Vincent said. “I am committed to maintaining the high standards that we have established and eager to have an opportunity to introduce the Kneaders brand to more customers in more states.”
