At the 17th annual Friend of Chile Awards Luncheon, the Chilean & American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Philadelphia honoured accomplished business leaders, including John Anderson, chairman, president and CEO of The Oppenheimer Group, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Anderson was acknowledged for several achievements, including Oppy’s status as the top North American importer of Chilean stonefruit, bringing millions of dollars in business through the ports along the Delaware River.
As well, Anderson was officially documented in the state of Pennsylvania by Senator and Lieutenant Governor-elect Mike Stack as a person who has made a difference to the well-being of the people living and working in the state.
“For nearly 40 years, Anderson’s finely-honed business instincts have left an indelible mark on a global industry, while building Oppy into a strong and successful produce marketing enterprise,” said Ricardo Maldonado, executive director of the Chamber.
