CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2026 / ArrowStream, Inc. ("ArrowStream"), the leading provider of cloud-based procurement, distribution, and supply chain management solutions for the foodservice industry, today announced the appointment of Tim Butler as President.
Tim brings more than three decades of experience helping B2B software companies scale profitably, with direct experience in foodservice and adjacent manufacturing and distribution sectors. Most notably, he led a foodservice technology company to sustained double-digit compound annual growth, outperforming peers on both growth and profitability.
