Change has been the norm over the past few at Gonzalez, Calif-based Misionero Vegetables, said Nicole Zapata, marketing director.

“Since the Harbinger Group acquired Misionero in late 2016, the team has shaped and shifted accordingly while remaining true to its vision of being the boldest and most forward-thinking produce company on the planet,” she said.

Much of the team has remained the same, but a new executive suite has been formed that includes Tom Minnich as CEO and president and Joe Merenda as COO.

“The business is continuing to grow with the focus on people, culture, organics and innovation,” Zapata said.

There also have been some additions, including Justin Balas as CFO, Martin Flewell as director of operations, Larry Norwald in national sales and Jennifer Lind in business intelligence.
