ORANGE COVE, CA - Cecelia Packing says goodbye to a seasoned produce veteran as Keith Wilson, Sales Manager, announces his retirement, effective May 16, 2024. He is succeeded by Dominic DeNatale.
Wilson spent 14 years with Cecelia Packing but has spent his career in the fresh produce business. He started as a Field Inspector with The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P). He was eventually promoted to Buyer and then Director of the Fresno Procurement Office.
During his time with A&P, Keith traveled for business throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and it set him up for a career in produce. Wilson then worked for Shurfine International, Sunkist Growers, HMC Group, Sunny Cove Citrus, and Flavor Tree Company, before landing at Cecelia Packing.
Dominic DeNatale will replace Wilson as Sales Manager, a role for which he is very excited.
He noted in a release that the prospect of working to expand the Cecelia citrus program, while maintaining relationships with the company’s current customers, is something he looks forward to. DeNatale will work with Allison Garza in the sales department where they’ll both provide the customer service Cecelia is known for.
Congratulations to Keith Wilson on a long career, and best of luck to Dominic DeNatale on this step next in his.
