Welbilt, an Ali Group company and global leader in foodservice equipment solutions, is pleased to announce several key leadership transitions within its organization, effective September 1, 2025.
Tom Van Der Bosch will transition from his current role as president of Scotsman Ice® to become president of Welbilt KitchenConnect® and Welbilt KitchenCare®. Van Der Bosch joined Scotsman in 1999 as manager of customer and technical services, and has since held multiple leadership roles, including director of marketing and vice president of parts and service, before becoming president of Scotsman in 2023. Under his leadership, Scotsman has experienced significant growth, reinforcing its prominent position in the ice machine industry.
With Van Der Bosch’s new responsibilities, Nate Jackson, currently president of Aladdin Temp-Rite®, will transition to president of Scotsman Ice. Jackson previously served as vice president of sales and marketing at Scotsman from 2012 to 2015 before becoming president of Aladdin in 2017. He has consistently ensured Aladdin’s leadership in the healthcare foodservice equipment industry, most notably enhancing through patient care by providing innovative healthcare meal delivery systems. Jackson will also continue his broader responsibilities as group president for Welbilt, overseeing Aladdin Temp-Rite and other brands within the company’s portfolio.
As Jackson moves into his new position, Jeff Burns steps into the role of president of Aladdin Temp-Rite. Burns has been with Aladdin since 1998, following his tenure at Frymaster®, where he served as senior staff accountant. He began his journey at Aladdin as group controller and has served as chief financial officer since 2001. Burns’ long-standing dedication and deep operational knowledge will be instrumental in driving continued innovation and success at Aladdin.
“These leadership changes reflect the strength and depth of talent within our organization,” said Filippo Berti, chairman and chief executive officer. “Tom, Nate and Jeff bring exceptional expertise and a shared commitment to excellence as we continue to deliver the most comprehensive turnkey foodservice solutions to our customers worldwide.”
