Second-generation, family-owned grower-shipper-processor Ippolito International has added account manager Neftaly Vargas to its sales team.

“As this industry has seen, Ippolito International’s top priority is to consistently provide outstanding quality produce in the commodity packs as well as in the value-added products,” Vargas says. “I’m truly looking forward to working alongside this dedicated team.”

Vargas joins the team with experience in roles at Braga Fresh, where she focused on value-added programs and supported customer relations and account growth. Vargas’ other experience includes a tenure at Tanimura & Antle, initially in the finance area and in foodservice and retail sales roles.

“Her focus and energy will help to drive growth across many fresh produce categories, but the value-added experience that she brings is paramount,” says Heather Fuller, vice president of business development. “Ippolito International is fortunate to have her on our sales team.”
