Crunch Pak has announced that it has employed Scott Sargent as its new chief executive officer, to replace the outgoing John Graden.
According to the cut apple specialist, Graden will work side by side with Sargent through to the end of the year, and will then become a member of the board while continuing as director of raw product purchasing.
Sargent joins Crunch Pak from Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, where he was manager of supply chain purchasing for the 1,700-restaurant chain.
“The innovation at Crunch Pak is exciting and the fresh produce industry overall is challenging,” Sargent said. “I am thrilled to join Crunch Pak’s outstanding team and help the market leader expand even further.”
Diane Huntsinger-Carson, chairperson of Crunch Pak’s board of directors, added: “Having Scott join our team is the next major step in the evolution of our company. From a host of great candidates, Scott stood alone in terms of leadership strength, directly applicable experience and a terrific record of accomplishment. The board could not be happier with this choice.”
