Index Fresh Welcomes Jessica Chavez and Bill Frank as Its Newest Account Managers
RIVERSIDE, CA— Index Fresh Director of Sales John Dmytriw and Vice President of Sales Todd Elder have announced the addition of two new Account Managers to the company.
Bill Frank and Jessica Chavez have joined the Index Fresh family, according to a press release.
“Bill has extensive experience as a regional produce field merchandiser, and a field buyer for a major, national grocery chain,” Elder stated in the release. “As a previous produce buyer, he understands the stresses of bringing fresh produce in and improving company profits. Our buyers really relate to him with topics like our ripening programs and merchandising promotions.”
Dmytriw commented, “Jessica brings valuable experience to our team from previous produce account management including exporting. She is extremely organized in her work and understands the logistics issues we have in delivering a perishable fruit to our customers just in time.”
Originally from Denver, CO, Frank has moved back and forth between California and Arizona before finally settling down with a southern California produce wholesaler, packer and distribution company where he crossed paths with Index Fresh.
“I’ve bought avocados from Index Fresh and worked with Todd Elder and Debbie Willmann in the past,” Frank said in the release. “You can’t ask for a nicer group of people to work with. I feel fortunate to be at Index.”
Chavez, however, is a Riverside native. Crediting her mother with the organizational skills that she feels have furthered her career, Chavez previously managed retail chain produce accounts, including inventory control, logistics, and documentation for export certifications and inspections, according to the release.
“This is a great team to work with and I love their attitude of striving to exceed customer expectations every time,” Chavez said.
Chavez will manage some of the company’s top retail/foodservice accounts, nationwide, under the AvoTerra brand, and Frank will assist as Account Manager in managing top retail accounts for the company.
Overall, the company conveyed confidence in its latest additions and their success in their new roles.
