Dan'L Mackey Almy Email & Phone Number

My lifelong passion for agriculture serves as the foundation and compass for my career, which is as dynamic and challenging as it is rewarding. As CEO of DMA Solutions, Inc., a leading marketing agency exclusively serving the fresh produce industry, I have the opportunity to work alongside talented, diverse marketers who share a belief in the good of food that is grown.I discovered my love for ag at a young age. As an agricultural economics student at Texas A&M University, I was then introduced to the possibility of a career in fresh produce. After graduation, I started at Standard Fruit & Vegetable, where I held several leadership roles—including director of marketing—until the company’s 2003 acquisition by Del Monte Fresh Produce, at which time I became the VP of sales and oversaw Walmart and Sam’s Club business for North America.The ten years I spent selling fresh produce was pivotal and help to shape my firm belief that marketing can greatly impact demand for produce—thus driving consumption—which results in more nutritious eating habits and a healthier, happier society. In 2004, this realization led me to found DMA Solutions with the goal of building brands through creative, results-driven marketing. My life’s work—whether selling potatoes or leading marketers—is one small part of a larger calling: serving as a champion for food that is grown.I reside in Dallas with my husband Drew, daughter Mackey Payton (she attends NYU, but Texas is home), and dog Shelby Rae. I would love to connect socially or at an industry event, but come prepared: karaoke may be required.The DMA Solutions team believes in sharing knowledge to help transform marketing for a once commodity-centric industry.
