OXNARD, CA - Responding to its continued growth in the produce industry, Mission Produce announced that the company has promoted Stephen Fink to Director of Sales Planning. Fink brings five years of experience with Mission Produce to the position–most recently as a sales representative, after serving previously as an inventory analyst.
“Mission has grown dramatically in the past few years, and our ability to service our customers as we grow is our highest priority,” Fink said. “With my background in inventory management and sales, my goal is to improve our overall performance and satisfaction levels with our customer base.”
Fink will work with Mission’s sales, operations, and sourcing teams on overall demand management for the company. In his new position, he will manage short-and-intermediate-term sales planning activities. Further, he will focus on ensuring optimal inventory levels at Mission’s nine North American distribution centers.
In his new role, Fink will report to Vice President of Sales & Marketing Brent Scattini.
“We are adding depth in our sales management and planning processes with the goal of enhancing Mission’s leadership position in avocados,” Scattini said. “Managing demand at the customer level is a strategic area of focus for Mission, and this position will magnify our capabilities. Stephen has been an important member of the sales team at Mission, and has proven himself capable of handling both customer interaction and sales planning at the highest level. As the Director of Sales Planning, he will continue to have key account responsibility, but will support our business model in aligning demand and supply.”
