WENATCHEE, WA - I can nearly hear the streamers popping off in Washington as Stemilt celebrates the appointment of a new leader. The grower has appointed Vivian Page to the newly created executive team role of Vice President of Human Capital. She will oversee human capital functions across Stemilt’s vast operations with an emphasis on culture, talent development, and advancing the company’s value propositions.

Vivian Page, Vice President of Human Capital, Stemilt“I’m excited for this opportunity to take the culture and people that make Stemilt great to a new level,” said Page. “Stemilt is well-known for its World Famous Fruit and as a preferred place to work in Wenatchee and surrounding areas. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with the leadership team to build upon this foundation and ensure Stemilt is both a people and product focused fruit company well into the future.”

Page joins Stemilt following 23 years at beverage company Talking Rain and brings extensive experience in human resource strategy and management. A press release stated that she was the first member of Talking Rain’s human resource department and was instrumental in taking the company from a start-up to a beverage leader with its top sparkling water brand, Sparkling Ice.
