NSF International, a member and audited designator of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), has announced that Jen Morecraft has been promoted to global managing director of NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR), a global certification body and subsidiary of NSF International. In this role, Ms. Morecraft will oversee strategy development, innovation, and implementation of NSF-ISR to grow their services and align them with the mission, strategies, goals, and values of NSF International.
Prior to this role, Ms. Morecraft was the director of NSF International's supplier assurance programs.

She was also responsible for strategy and growth of NSF's proprietary audit programs, as well as new certification program development and client-specific second- and third-party audit programs.
"Jen's experiences within retail, supply chain, and data management give her a broad understanding of industry and certification program management. Her many years supporting public health and safety include expanding challenges and responsibilities at NSF International. We look forward to her leadership of NSF-ISR - particularly her ability to focus on the customer, collaborate effectively, and innovate to drive growth," said Tom Chestnut, senior vice president of NSF International's Global Food Division and of NSF-ISR.
