Kapi Kapi Growers, a global grower-shipper of sustainably grown pineapples, bananas and plantains, says it has added two new experts that will support the brand’s continued expansion in North America.
Carlos Pelaez is now serving Kapi Kapi customers as logistics manager. Pelaez is a U.S. veteran who brings 18 years of experience in perishable transportation, having worked with a large-scale, global grower-shipper-importer of fresh produce, according to a news release.
“Transportation is my true passion,” Pelaez said. “I am very grateful that my journey has led me to Kapi Kapi and I look forward to serving our customers and business partners well in this role.”
Kiyoshi Taylor also joined the team as logistics coordinator and brings with her nine years of transportation administration experience with a global brand where she managed 15 locations.
“This opportunity has changed my life,” Taylor said in the release. “It has been amazing working with the Kapi family, and I am elated to be a part of this growing business.”
“We are proud to welcome these highly experienced professionals for these new roles. Logistics is a critical part of our total commitment to service and excellence,” Senior Logistics Manager Latishia Bryant said in the release. “With our ongoing development, it is the right time to continue building a dedicated team for this journey. Carlos and Kiyoshi have been great additions to our team.”
