Eden Prairie, Minn.-based logistics company C.H. Robinson has named Jose Rossignoli as the new president Robinson Fresh, the sourcing and transporting division of C.H. Robinson.
Rossignoli succeeds Michael Castagnetto, who has been promoted to vice president of customer success supporting the North American Surface Transportation division within C.H. Robinson, according to a news release.
“C.H. Robinson is on course to continue to deliver and grow superior global services and integrated capabilities to our customers, carriers and growers,” Scott Anderson, interim CEO of C.H. Robinson, said in the release. “Jose’s appointment as president of Robinson Fresh and Michael Castagnetto’s promotion to a leadership role in our NAST division will help us serve our customers in the most optimal way. I want to thank Michael for his great work leading Robinson Fresh and we’re looking forward to seeing where Jose and his team take the business.”
In his over a decade tenure at Robinson Fresh, Rossignoli has held several leadership roles, including general manager, director of global sourcing and, most recently, vice president of global sourcing. During this time, Rossignoli has played a key role in evolving supply chain product and services companies in the fresh food industry, according to the release.

Rossignoli’s background, which includes experience engaging stakeholders across the entire international fresh supply chain, will help build Robinson Fresh’s momentum with a focus on integrating products and services to provide seamless supply chain solutions, according to the release.
“Robinson Fresh has undergone a positive transformation over the past couple of years, and I am excited to work with our extremely talented team to build upon that growth and progress,” Rossignoli said in the release. “The next year will be exciting as we work toward our strategic goal of growing our integrated capabilities while continuing to uncover new and innovative ways to meet our customers’ needs.”
Consumer expectations are driving supply chain complexity — especially for fresh, frozen and food products. Robinson Fresh is in a unique position to reduce complexity for customers by not only deliver fresh produce, but to offer integrated supply chain and logistics services to create a more efficient and holistic solution for customers, according to the release.
