David Jordan brings extensive experience across agribusiness, FMCG and QSR sectors to the role
Nutrano Produce Group has announced the recent appointment of David Jordan as its new chief executive.
Jordan brings extensive experience in transformational leadership across high growth agribusiness, FMCG and QSR sectors. Over the course of his career, he has held leadership roles in a number of organisations including HS Fresh Foods, Costa Group, Baskin-Robins and Coles Liquor Group. He has also served as a board member for the Parramatta Eels and is the current chairman of Oysters Australia.
In a release announcing the appointment, Nutrano said Jordan’s addition comes at a pivotal time for the company as it prepares to expand across multiple growing regions in Australia.
In the first month of his role, Jordan has dedicated his time to visiting Nutrano’s farms and packing facilities across the country.
“The heart of Nutrano is its people – their passion, dedication, and drive to deliver the best for our customers,” Jordan said. “Enhancing our people-first culture at Nutrano is critical to our long-term success.”
Jordan’s appointment completes Nutrano’s executive leadership team which has been secured over the last 12 months.
“The past 12 months has seen the board undertake an extensive national search for key executives to join Nutrano,” Joanna White chair of Nutrano said. “We have been fortunate to be able to identify industry leaders who not only share our vision but also have decades of industry experience in leading best practice agribusiness operations.”
The leadership team now consists of Mark Leng, executive GM of commercial and operations; Nicholas King executive GM of farming & development; Sarah Grafton executive GM of people, culture & safety; and Vladlen Potapenkov chief financial officer.
