The Middleby Corporation elevated Chief Commercial Officer Steven P. Spittle to president Thursday, Nov. 5, naming him as its next CEO as the company continues a shift toward commercial foodservice. Timothy J. FitzGerald is to leave the CEO post at the handoff, and Spittle is also expected to join Middleby’s board. The company’s portfolio changes this year included selling 51% of its Residential Kitchen operation to 26North in the first quarter of 2026. A July spin-off moved the Food Processing business into Midera. Spittle’s Middleby career began in 2010, and he became chief commercial officer in February 2021.
