TORONTO, ON, CANADA - terra freska produce is on the eve of an exciting chapter, welcoming two new leaders with the fresh experience and prowess to usher in growth and innovation before the year is up. Mike Dattoli has joined the company as President and Chief Executive Officer, while Mimmo Franzone has taken up the post of Vice President of Procurement and Business Development.
“As the Co-Founder of Mike and Mike’s Organics, I have a deep-rooted passion for the organic produce industry and a longstanding commitment to quality and sustainability.
