That partnership has grown into the only full-service global retail branding and sourcing company with a global footprint spanning over 200 offices, with more than 39,000 associates in 51 countries on six continents, working with 100+ retailers and more than 6,000 suppliers across an array of channels such as grocery, mass, auto, convenience and overstocks. In 1968, prior to joining forces with Peter Damon Schwartz to co-create Daymon, Milt joined the Kroger Company in Cincinnati OH as an Administrative Assistant to the Executive Vice President. In that capacity, he worked on one of the first computerized sales forecasting programs utilizing demographic diversity data.

In 1965, Milt went to work for Staff Supermarket Associates, then in Great Neck, New York, first as a special assistant to the President, and then as Director of Private Brand Perishables Procurement. Staff was a cooperative of 18 supermarket chains that bought a common Private Brand. These companies included Hannaford, Wegmans, Schnucks, Bruno’s, and companies that now make up parts of larger supermarket organizations such as Stop & Shop and Safeway.
