Jill Moran, a long-time Monterey Mushrooms teammate, has rejoined the sales team as a sales manager based out of Watsonville, Calif. Moran will manage fresh mushroom sales for retail and foodservice customers in the Western region.

In this role, Moran will be responsible for the sales of mushrooms grown, packed and shipped from the company’s farms in Royal Oaks and Morgan Hill, Calif., which grow, harvest and pack conventional and organic White, Baby Bella and Portabella Monterey Mushrooms.

For the past three years, Moran has been the operations manager at the Monterey Mushrooms Royal Oaks farm.

To her new role, she brings 15 years of experience in customer service. “I am looking forward to re-connecting with our customers and helping them grow their mushroom category to the best that it can be,” Moran said in a release.

“Moran brings a unique balance of customer service and farm operations to this key role,” said Mike Stephan, sales director. “Her local-market knowledge, coupled with first-hand experience in operations will benefit the customers she will serve.”

Outside of work, Moran can be found volunteering and she currently holds the position of president for her local grange, which serves her small town as the local non-profit social hub for community breakfasts, lunches, concerts and hall rentals.
