In this episode of Ivory GC, we’re joined by Sal Roccaro, Chief Strategy Officer and General Counsel at Maximum Quality Foods, a third-generation family-run food distribution company. With a background in engineering, law, and business, Sal’s multidisciplinary expertise has helped him shape strategic growth, manage complex acquisitions, and embed legal foresight across the organization. He shares his journey from environmental litigation and land use law to leading operations, compliance, and legal strategy in a fast-moving industry. Sal discusses how he integrates AI tools into legal work, the compliance challenges of entering food manufacturing, and how he balances legal and strategic decision-making. Whether leading union negotiations or building guardrails for risk in a high-volume environment, Sal brings a sharp, grounded view of how legal can fuel operational innovation.

We hope you enjoyed this episode! :)
