Art Munoz named Church Brothers Farms’ VP of Raw Procurement
Year-round vegetable producer Church Brothers Farms has hired former employee Art Munoz as vice president of raw product procurement in the U.S. and Mexico.
Munoz brings over 20 years of raw material sourcing experience, both domestically and internationally, according to a news release. He previously worked with Taylor Farms as director of ag operations; prior to that, he worked with the Church Brothers team for nearly 12 years, the release said. He graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a degree in agricultural and managerial economics.
“As we’ve grown, it became clear that we needed a leader who could tie together the flow of products between our regions, balance supply, and buy/sell to make sure our service levels are the best they can be,” Church Brothers Farms CEO Brian Church said in the release.
Munoz will be responsible for leading all raw product procurement activities throughout the global organization and will support the company’s business strategy of developing a supply chain that ensures a continuous and coordinated supply of raw material, according to the release.
“Art and I worked side by side for a long time, and with his attention to detail and analytical mind, he’s the perfect person for the job. I’m really glad he’s coming back to the Church Brothers family,” Church said.
