Angus Promotes Chris Stallo to Chief Operating Officer
Stallo to lead the Association’s operational efforts.
The American Angus Association announces the promotion of Chris Stallo to chief operating officer. He started the position on Sept. 10 after previously serving as the vice president of operations.
“I’m very pleased to promote Chris to the role of chief operating officer,” said Allen Moczygemba, American Angus Association CEO. “He’s spent more than 20 years working intimately with the Association’s programs and services and has an unmatched understanding of the workings of the Association and how we serve membership. I couldn’t be more excited to work with Chris as the Association’s COO.”
Stallo first started at the Association in 1997 in a consulting role for the Information Systems department, then came aboard full time in 2000. In 2008, he was promoted to assistant director of information systems after assisting with the development of the Association’s first member login area, AAA Login, which is now responsible for almost 60 percent of all registrations submitted to the Association. Then, in 2014, he was promoted to vice president of operations, a role he was in for four years.
“Ensuring the Association and its membership stays on the front end of technology has always been important to me,” Stallo said. “I’m honored to continue my work with the Association and its entities as we look to pioneer more progress for the Angus breed.”
Stallo has been part of a team that has provided Association members with an ever-growing technology suite for more than 20 years. He has been involved with running company-wide operational functions and leading large-scale projects from inception to successful completion, the most recent of those being the new Association feeder cattle program, Angus LinkSM.
The Missouri native graduated from DeVry University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in computer information systems. He grew up on a commercial cattle operation near Marceline, Missouri, where his parents continue to run nearly 250 head of commercial cattle. Stallo and his wife Suzanne have three sons and are highly active in their local community. For more American Angus Association news and information, visit Angus.org.
