Sunkist Growers has announced the addition of two new leadership roles, bringing in Joshua Carr as director of procurement and Stephen Sheldon as director of global business development.
Both roles report to Christian Harris, chief operating officer, and ”reflect Sunkist’s continued investment in top talent to strengthen its operations, expand global opportunities, and deliver long-term value for its grower-members”.
Carr joins Sunkist and Fruit Growers Supply as director of procurement, where he will oversee purchasing operations across several business units, manage supplier relationships, and support procurement strategy across the organisation.
He brings more than 15 years of procurement and supply chain experience, most recently with Walmart, where he supported large-scale purchasing and supplier management initiatives.
Sheldon joins Sunkist as director of global business development, where he will focus on driving growth through new and existing international market opportunities and key strategic accounts.
He brings more than 19 years of experience across the produce and agricultural sectors, including roles with Limoneira, Westpak Avocado, and NuVasive.
“Josh and Stephen bring exceptional experience, leadership, and strategic perspective to Sunkist,” said Harris.
“Their addition strengthens our leadership team and positions us well as we continue expanding our operations, global partnerships, and long-term growth strategy.”
