FreshXperts' Team Grows, Including a New Owner, Jonathan Raduns, and New Chairman, Anthony Totta
KANSAS CITY, MO - FreshXperts announced several changes and additions in a press release including a new owner, chairman, and two new associates.
Jonathan Raduns has joined as the company’s newest owner. Raduns holds a Food Marketing and Distribution degree from Rochester Institute of Technology, bringing over 10 years of experience in the produce industry. He is currently working as a Retail Food Merchandising and Marketing Consultant for Merchandise Food LLC, consulting with clients on merchandising, training, and reinvention strategies designed to grow their businesses.
“I am so pleased to be expanding my role with the organization as an owner. I look forward to working with the other FreshXperts to help our clients operate their businesses more efficiently and profitably while minimizing waste,” Raduns said.
The founding member of the company, Anthony Totta, has replaced Ron Pleger as Chairman of the Board, promoted from his former position as Vice Chairman.
Michael Gretz and David Pennington have also joined as Associates.
The new Chairman attributes a strong growing team to an expanding client base.
“As our client base expands and our consultancy grows, we want to make sure that we continue to provide our clients with the same high level of personal attention and customer service that they have come to expect from our team of FreshXperts,” Totta said in a press release. “ Our owners, associates and affiliate members work collaboratively to offer competency in nearly every area of the fresh industry, providing cohesive, comprehensive solutions to our clients’ business challenges.”
Recently appointed Administrator and General Manager PJ Petrillo, according to Totta, has been a key part of that direction, and believes that these latest additions will further help the company’s growth in its desired direction.
“FreshXperts is looking for the ‘right’ partners to join us in our expansion, not just ‘any’ partners,” Petrillo said. “We believe that we’ve found the ‘right’ kind of partners in Jonathan Raduns, David Pennington and Mike Gretz. They are experienced and professional team players, and their unique experiences and skill sets will prove valuable additions to the FreshXperts team.”
