WORK HISTORY
VP Sales and Marketing @Avena Foods Limited
Regina, SK, CA
In January 2018, Avena Foods Limited welcomed a new partner into the fold. Best Cooking Pulses, Inc, a family-owned agri-foods company that had been active in the international pulse trade since 1936, was looking to expand beyond its pulse offerings. Avena Foods Limited wanted to extend the crops grown under ‘Purity Protocol’ and to move beyond their farmer co-operative ownership. These pioneering Canadian companies were both committed to:• strong partnerships with farmers, • the milling of traceable, high quality, safe ingredients, • exemplary quality and food safety systems,• respectful relationships with customers and staff, and• sustainable environmental practices. These shared values are the foundation of the new Avena Foods Limited.
