Fresh produce marketer Greenyard USA/Seald Sweet has revealed that it is saying farewell to Michael Walsh, who will be retiring at the end of August.
Walsh joined the company as an account executive and brought a wealth of knowledge with him, according to the group.
“Michael has had a stellar sales career at Seald Sweet and it has been an honour having had him as part of our team,' said Mayda Sotomayor, Greenyard USA/Seald Sweet chief executive. 'We are proud that he elected to finish his career at Seald Sweet, and only wish him the best.”
Walsh has been involved in the fresh produce industry for nearly 44 years, with his career starting in the Philadelphia produce market (Procacci Brothers).
He turned that experience into managing a few well-respected grape, stonefruit and citrus companies, including Unifrutti, Oppenheimer, Chiquita and Del Monte Fresh.
“Seald Sweet has a great group of people, a nice mix of commodities, and a deep history in marketing fresh produce from around the world, I truly enjoyed my time working with them,' Walsh added. 'Their global reach on sourcing is compelling.”
