GRANITE BAY, CA - Something tells me we will soon be seeing exciting things in the fresh produce industry workforce, sparked by the expertise of some talented search consultants. Joe Produce Search℠, the Executive Search division of Joe Produce, is initiating an East Coast expansion with the recent appointment of Pam Russell as its newest Executive Search Consultant.

“I am joining Joe Produce Search with great enthusiasm. I was immediately impressed with their culture, values, and business model, which is based on a unique team approach. What I love the most is that produce and eating healthy resonates with me. Now, I have a chance to work in the industry that brings together my personal interests and professional experience,” said Russell.

Having been in the executive search industry for over 20 years, Russell is a well-rounded and highly respected executive search professional with extensive experience actively recruiting professional candidates while developing close partnerships with her client companies, a press release explained. She brings extreme strength in creating and maintaining long-lasting relationships, living by this credo: “I will manage your search with energy and enthusiasm all the while providing the exceptional service and communication that I would expect for myself.”

“We do so much business across the country, including the entire Eastern Seaboard, from Florida to New Jersey and all points in between. It will be nice to have someone in that area and time zone,” stated Rex Lawrence, President of Joe Produce. “As search consultants, we’re constantly looking for ‘the right fit’ between candidates and employers, and I have to say Pam is a great fit here.”

Russell began her career in commercial staffing before moving into placing finance, accounting, and technology professionals. She then joined a small boutique agency and was devoted exclusively to recruiting for the staffing industry, ultimately leveraging her success to start her own firm.

As noted in the release, Russell’s professionalism, wisdom, and core values are a perfect match for Joe Produce Search and the industry it serves.

“Pam and I have crossed paths over our years in the search business, and I have always been impressed with her personal approach, tenaciousness, and follow-through,” added Julie Marcik, Senior Director. “She is an excellent search consultant and relationship builder. We are so fortunate to have her on our team.”
