“Erik brings a broad range of regulatory expertise to FMI,” said Leslie G. Sarasin, FMI president and chief executive officer. “His familiarity with the supermarket industry and its priorities makes him a valuable addition to our team. We are very happy to have him aboard.”

Lieberman was Director of Government Affairs at the National Grocers Association from 2004 to 2007. Prior to that, he served as a legislative assistant to Florida Senator Bob Graham.
