Local Bounti Corporation announced that Anna Fabrega, former Freshly CEO and Amazon executive, will become CEO and Principal Executive Officer of the Company of Local Bounti on June 5, 2023. The company's current Co-CEOs and Co-Founders – Craig Hurlbert and Travis Joyner – will shift to new leadership roles as Senior Vice President of Strategy and Chief Technology Officer, respectively, and maintain their seats on the Company's Board of Directors. Fabrega brings more than two decades of operations, consumer goods, and food production experience – and a track record of leading and scaling businesses – to Local Bounti.

At Freshly, the direct-to-consumer fresh prepared food subscription service, Fabrega succeeded the company's founder as CEO. She led the rollout of new product lines to meet customer demand. Prior to Freshly, Fabrega spent nearly a decade at Amazon, most recently leading and scaling Amazon Go – the company's ‘Just Walk Out' convenience stores and Amazon Kitchen, Amazon's private label fresh prepared foods operation – to dozens of locations across the U.S. Before joining Amazon Go's founding team, Fabrega held leadership roles within Amazon, including overseeing the company's Sports and Outdoors ecommerce business.

She has also led large-scale initiatives at Microsoft and Stripes Convenience Stores. Fabrega serves on the board of APEI, a for-profit higher education provider, and is on the board of trustees for the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
