Brian Kocher, who left his role as interim president and CEO of Chiquita earlier this month, has already found a new role within the industry.
According to The Packer, Kocher has landed the newly created position of chief operating officer at the Castellini group of companies.
“Brian’s extensive operations and sales experience combined with his financial acumen will help the Castellini Group of Companies continue its success as we move to new markets and pursue new business opportunities,” said president Bill Schuler.
The Castellini group, a Cincinnati-based fresh produce distributor, markets over 2,500 fruit and vegetable products in the US.
