TRACY, Calif. – (April 7, 2026) – The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), the marketing order
representing California dairy producers, today announced the addition of Jamie Ho as Processor
Partnerships Manager.
Ho brings more than two decades of experience driving growth and collaboration across the
consumer-packaged goods industry. Throughout her career, she has worked at the intersection of
strategy, partnerships, and data-driven insights, helping organizations translate consumer and

across retailers, suppliers, distributors, and cross-functional teams provides her with a deep
understanding of the complex ecosystem that supports consumer product growth.

especially meaningful to her. She is passionate about the role partnerships play in strengthening
industries and believes that aligning data, insights, and collaboration is key to building
sustainable growth for both businesses and the communities they support.
