Logistics & Supply chain, QA and inspections, Sales and account operations, marketing, finance, corporate dev/biz dev. And at Chobani's scale, middle management for all of these categories. I can see 2000 people being realistic.

I'm actually a little surprised they're that small. That's not all that far out of the typical small and medium business (SMB) definition which tops out at 1,000 employees or so and they're a widely recognized brand--albeit within a fairly narrow niche.

(By contrast Proctor and Gamble has about 110,000 employees.)

To this point, Chobani had quality control issues a couple of years ago. So that's definitely an area that requires some people. And the marketing / PR folks to make it no longer top-of-mind for most people.
