Wish Farms' Chuck Hollenkamp Stepping Down From Role As EVP of Fresh Sales
PLANT CITY, FL – Monday morning Wish Farms announced that long time produce veteran Chuck Hollenkamp will be stepping down from his current role as Executive VP of Fresh Sales in order to transition to a new seasonal role with the Wish Farms' grower relations team. As an adviser to the grower relations team, he will be focusing largely on his company's deals with Florida strawberry and Kirby cucumber growers.
“Chuck has been with us for almost 30 years and has become a part of our family,” President of Wish Farms Gary Wishnatzki said. “His field experience and established grower relationships will transition nicely into his new seasonal role. We are grateful he will remain a part of our team.”
With Hollenkamp leaving, James Peterson will now be stepping up to head the Wish Farms sales department.
Hollenkamp first signed on with Wish Farms in 1985 as a warehouse manager. He would wear many different hats during his career with the company, eventually finding a home in sales. According to a press release, Wishnatzki considers Hollenkamp's expertise to have been essential to Wish Farms' growth into one of the leading berry marketers in the industry.
