SSP Canada and SSP America, divisions of SSP Group, have promoted Bob Stanton to senior vice president of business development. The promotion comes as SSP is seeing gains in its Canadian and United States portfolio, the company said.
With SSP Canada and SSP America since 2015, Bob Stanton has brought more than 30 years of worldwide retail and hospitality experience to the development team, helping to identify future industry trends as well as develop strategic growth opportunities.
“It would be hard to overstate the pivotal role Bob has played in our ability to achieve ambitious goals in both the U.S. and Canada,” said Pat Murray, deputy chief executive officer. “There really are only a few people in the industry who have as much experience as Bob. But perhaps it’s how he goes about the day-to-day work that really sets him apart. He always puts the team first and consistently mentors and brings others along on the road to success. I know I can speak for our entire team when I say his kindness, affability, and quiet humor make him a role model for us all. He’s worked incredibly hard for close to a decade at SSP, and we couldn’t be prouder to call him a colleague and friend.”
