Steve Glassman
Since joining Van Ness in 1991, Steve has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth and success. His invaluable expertise across management, marketing, sales, product development, finance, purchasing, packaging, international business, and legal affairs has been instrumental in positioning Van Ness as a leader in the pet industry. Over his tenure, his contributions to the company have been immeasurable, fostering innovation, operational excellence, and a deeply collaborative workplace culture.
