Her responsibilties include the management of sales and operations and will lead product innovation and program development at the Los Angeles operation.
Castellano previously held the position of vice president of operations at Herb Thyme Farms in Compton, Calif., where she had a broad range of duties including managing customer service, transportation, production, inventory, purchasing, food safety and quality assurance.

I see a lot of potential in this specialty produce nice.” One initiative she looks forward to working on is to increase retail sales of specialty produce as well as grow sales to the foodservice industry.
