Kneaders Bakery & Cafe is pleased to announce that David Vincent (current Kneaders CFO) will assume the role of president and CFO effective July 1. Vincent will continue to work closely with the executive team and oversee the growth of Kneaders Bakery & Cafe 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.
