Wholesale Produce Supply names new supply chain director
Wholesale Produce Supply appointed Dirk Updike to the role of supply chain director. In his new position, Updike will drive operational optimization in all aspects of transportation and warehousing.
A results-orientated leader, Updike strives to build strong, confident, cross-functional teams that deliver results.
"Success in any organization requires not only the ability to achieve results, but also the discipline, process, and structure to sustain those results over time,” said Updike. “As someone who is willing and capable of making challenging decisions and invoking change, I am confident that I can establish the environment necessary to succeed in my new role with WPS.”
Updike joins WPS after previously holding the vice president of operations position for MVP Logistics; before that, he was the director of distribution and fulfillment for the same company. He is dedicated to driving performance while developing and executing the long-term operational vision.
“We are excited to have Dirk join the WPS Team,” said Jim Dorcy, chief operating officer. “Updike will help drive strategy and develop action plans that will drive positive changes in the optimization of transportation and warehousing operations.”
