Shaunte Mears-Watkins has been appointed to the Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce Inc. board of directors, according to a news release.
Mears-Watkins was appointed to the class of directors that will stand for election next year at Mission Produce’s annual meeting of stockholders.
Mears-Watkins currently serves as the chief commercial officer at Clif Bar and Co., but has more than 20 years of experience in the consumer product and food industries. Before joining Clif Bar earlier this year, she spent nearly 15 years at The Clorox Co. in positions that included vice president of marketing, specialty division; general manager of both Clorox Australia and New Zealand; and, most recently, vice president of strategy and chief of staff to the office of the CEO. She holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Stanford University and a master’s degree in business from Harvard Business School, according to the release.
“We are excited to add such a strategic and innovative marketing and sales executive to our board of directors,” said Steve Barnard, founder and CEO of Mission Produce said in the release. “Shaunte’s experience from a commercial and global perspective in the consumer product and food space is a complement to the other eight board members currently serving.”
