Braga adds Chris Devan to its sales team
Braga Fresh Family Farms announced that Chris Devan has joined its sales team. Devan is responsible for managing and expanding upon key customer relationships and contributing to the continued growth of the Josie’s Organics line of premium-quality, organic fresh vegetables.
Devan has more than 26 years of experience in the produce industry, most recently as account manager for Grimmway Farms, where he serviced major, national accounts. Previously he worked at Melissa’s/World Variety Produce as an organic vegetable buyer.
He discovered his calling to the produce industry at age 15 as a bag boy at Alpha Beta in San Diego, where his brother was the store’s produce manager. Within a year he was promoted to produce clerk and he has been working primarily in the produce industry ever since. His experience spans from a produce clerk in retail stores and a buyer managing distribution to the grower-shipper side as a salesperson.
“Chris’ wealth of experience, particularly with organics, is an advantage,” Rod Braga, president and chief executive officer of Braga Fresh Family Farms, said in a press release. “He brings industry knowledge and key relationships that will complement our existing team, and he will help make sure service quality remains high as distribution of Josie’s Organics continues to grow.”
“I'm so excited to be part of the Braga Fresh team working on the Josie’s Organics brand and contribute my knowledge and experience from all areas of the industry,” Devan said in the release.
