SALINAS, CA - Markon is proud to announce the appointment of Doug Fisher as the new Director of Multi-Unit Sales. A seasoned leader with deep roots in California’s Salinas Valley, Doug brings more than three decades of produce industry experience. After graduating from Salinas High School, Doug went on to study in San Diego and Fresno before returning home to begin his produce career as a broker.

Doug’s journey through the fresh produce world has taken him from the fields of Salinas to the Rockies, where he opened and operated a foodservice produce warehouse in Bozeman, Montana. 

He returned to Salinas to join Pro*Act, eventually serving as Director of Business Development before departing in 2020.
