COMMERCE, CA - Leading by example in growth and ingenuity has long been a strategy in the playbooks of trailblazing companies across our industry and I categorize 4Earth Farms as one of them. A key player on the 4Earth Farms team is taking over a vital position on the company’s leadership roster as Dave Hewitt has been promoted to Vice President of Sales.
“I’m very excited about this opportunity to continue to grow with the company,” said Hewitt. “I have been actively involved in the planning and execution of our sales strategy for several years and have built some awesome relationships with our buyers, whom I consider more partners than customers. I appreciate the recognition and the faith the 4Earth Board and Owners David and Deborah Lake have in me, and I look forward to managing our new projects, growing our sales team, and hitting the ground running!”
Hewitt is not only an industry veteran, according to a press release, but has worked for 4Earth Farms for more than 18 years.
During his time, Hewitt has learned the crucial ins and outs of both the industry and the company.
“Dave started with us back in 2003 as a retail specialist when we were just a little produce mixer off the market,” explained President David Lake. “He has been instrumental in our growth and now manages the majority of our major accounts and our sales team. We found it only fitting to reward his efforts with the new title and increased responsibilities.”
Joining Lake to give his sentiments is another industry sales vet, Mark Munger.
“As our business continues to grow, so does our need to adapt our Senior Management team to focus on new challenges and opportunities," added Munger, also commenting on Hewitt’s recent promotion and his contributions to the growth of the company.
Congratulations to Dave Hewitt on his promotion!
