In this new role, Casey Pearson will focus on building brand awareness within the company, the foodservice industry and the community. She will take an active role in planning employee relations activities, preparing for trade shows, and enhancing LTI’s community engagement initiatives.
Casey Pearson worked at LTI during the 1990s before stepping away to raise her family. Recently, she owned and operated a small business before closing it in 2022. She now joins her sister and co-owner, Barbara Casey Lane, to lead the company and continue the family’s legacy. Casey Pearson says she considers it a privilege to have worked alongside both first- and second-generation family members—her grandfather and father—and is thrilled to see fourth-generation family members, including her daughter, Tessie Pearson Lanier, work for the business.
