Do you love “Tasty” food videos and recipes? At the height of their popularity a few years ago, Marketing Communications Specialist Kelsey Van Lissum began working with a food content agency to develop recipe video content for Oppy items. As these videos became more frequent and Matt Del Biondi, graphic designer and video expert, joined the marketing team, Director of Marketing Services Cathie MacDonald brought the possibility of Oppy’s own in-house studio to light.

With its eye on business growth and innovation, Oppy announces the promotion of James Milne, Karin Gardner, Brett Libke and Garland Perkins to four newly created positions.

“As we continue to grow in the highly demanding and dynamic global fresh produce industry, we’re adapting to new challenges with discipline but also a great deal of excitement about the opportunities ahead of us,” said David Smith, president. “This experienced and talented foursome is prepared to lead us forward into areas that build on our strengths and open the door for strategic innovation.”
