New Capital Campaign Committee Member: Jeremy Bates

We are excited to announce a new addition to our Capital Campaign Advisory Committee, Mr. Jeremy Bates!  Jeremy brings a wealth of experience to our organization and will be helping us raise funds for the completion of our Rehabilitation & Rehoming Facility in Whitwell, TN. Welcome, Jeremy!

BIO:

Jeremy has been in the pet industry for nearly a decade, holding various global sourcing and operational leadership roles. At Petco, Jeremy excelled in global sourcing, product development, and vendor relations, but he is most proud of his service as Co-Chair of Petco’s Military & Veterans Partner Resource Group. Jeremy is currently the Executive Vice President of Swedencare North America, where he oversees industry-leading brands, such as Vet Worthy and Riley’s, and also heads up operations of their Tampa, Florida-based national distribution facility.

Jeremy’s dedicated support of the military and veteran community comes in large part from his six years of service as a US Navy Aviation Electrician and Functional Check Crewman on H60 helicopters. He is excited to leverage his executive and military service to advocate for retired military working dogs and police K-9’s that have served our country with valor. Jeremy lives with his wonderful wife, Nicole, and their Australian Shepherd, Atlas, in Santee, California. Outside of work, his passions are his family, wine and golf.
