Prophet Welcomes Tony Zuccato as Chief Operations Officer; Paul Stofberg Comments
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA - A new Chief is on the scene, and that Chief is Tony Zuccato. The distinguished industry expert has been tapped by Prophet as the company’s newest Chief Operations Officer.
“I am very excited to come on board with Prophet,” said Zuccato. “Prophet has a great reputation of proven success in the fresh produce industry with their highly configurable ERP. I’ve been very impressed with everything I have learned about the company. The opportunity to make a big impact and help the company grow is very appealing to me.”
Zuccato brandishes over 30 years of IT, software development, and project management experience. He has a passion for growing and building teams to provide exemplary customer service and support in the technology space, a press release explained.
His most recent experience was garnered as the Vice President of Operations for Produce Pro Software from 2004 to 2022. During his 18-year tenure at Produce Pro Software, Zuccato oversaw large-scale business growth as the customer base increased from 50 to over 225.
As the release noted, Zuccato’s growth strategy hinged not only on focused customer retention efforts but also on a strong commitment to staff retention; fostering an environment where staff members learned the produce industry and mentored junior team members through their development, Zuccato created a great work culture to ensure the staff was committed to customer success.
Before driving growth for Produce Pro Software, Zuccato held the position of Vice President of Professional Services at Click Commerce. Prior to that, he served as a Managing Consultant with Xpedior where he was one of the first 500 people in the world to obtain the Microsoft Solution Developer (MCSD) certification.
