PRO*ACT, America’s leading distributor of fresh produce to the foodservice industry, has added two sales and development professionals to its Client Services Team. Jennifer Osborne has joined as West Coast Client Services Director and Anthony Molinaro has joined as Northeast Client Services Director.
Osborne was most recently Director of Sales for Classic Salads, Watsonville, California. She held previous sales and management positions at Fresh Innovations, Dole Fresh Vegetables, Fresh Express and Grower’s Express. Based in Monterey, California she is a graduate of California Polytechnic University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business Management.
“Jennifer has extensive knowledge of sales development and the working side of the grower/shipper and distribution communities. Her understanding of the management of the front side of the supply chain will be a great benefit as we continue to focus on bringing more value to our customers,” said Brian Kane, PRO*ACT’s Vice President of Client Services.
Molinaro, based in New Milford, Connecticut, was most recently Senior Director Global Supply Chain & Vendor Management at Starwood Hotels, which he joined in March 2001. He held previous produce and distribution management positions with Alliant Foodservice (now U.S. Foodservice) and Monteverde Produce as well as other produce specialists in the Northeast.
“Anthony’s extensive knowledge of sales and distribution and his understanding of hotel, and B&I foodservice industry are real benefits for PRO*ACT as we continue to grow and diversify our customer base,” Kane said.
Both Osborne and Molinaro will work closely with PRO*ACT distributor members as well as with customers to target new business opportunities and increase the value relationship with PRO*ACT products and services.
