Brian Threlfall, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Giorgio Fresh Company, announced his retirement at year’s end. Greg Sagan, current Vice President of Sales and Marketing, has been appointed to succeed Threlfall beginning January 1, 2018.
Threlfall, who joined Giorgio in 1987, was instrumental in establishing Giorgio as a major player in the Fresh Mushroom Business. When Threlfall joined Giorgio, the company had no involvement in the fresh mushroom market and was better known for their canned and jarred products. “Brian has had a tremendous impact on Giorgio Fresh and Giorgio Foods. His leadership, dedication and expertise have been key factors in the company’s success and legacy of growth” Joe Caldwell added.
Threlfall’s successor, Greg Sagan brings forty years of food and mushroom industry experience to his new position at Giorgio, including appointment by the USDA to two terms on the board of the Mushroom Council, the industry’s promotion, research, and consumer outreach organization. “Greg is highly experienced and forward-thinking and we are fortunate to have him leading our sales and marketing efforts in the future,” stated Caldwell.
