GrubMarket’s mission is to disrupt and digitally transform the nation’s food supply chain by connecting food producers and buyers, and supplying fresh, organic products at affordable prices and convenient delivery. Following GrubMarket’s acquisition of SoCal Farm Network in 2018, I was appointed to lead the M&A function and source potential acquisition partners in the food and produce distribution space, driving pipeline development, opportunity analysis, and negotiations. I focus on growing new relationships and deepening existing partnerships, tapping into my own network of local food producers and growers, in addition to leveraging my personal experience as an owner and operator.

Vernon, Ca

So Cal Farm Network was launched with the mission of creating transparency in local and organic food distribution by sourcing the highest quality seasonal produce and providing simplified logistics. Our customers include produce distributors, retailers, food service providers, and CSA programs. With a robust network of more than 40 sustainable and organic farms across California, we go beyond farmer’s markets and deal directly with farms to offer accessible prices through large volume partnerships. Since its inception, we’ve purchased millions of dollars in locally sourced farm produce, building deep relationships with major retailers, distribution centers, and organic growers across the State of California. As owner and operator, I’ve negotiated partnerships to supply thousands of pounds of responsibly grown produce to over 35 Whole Foods Markets and Chipotle restaurants. As general manager, I led the organization through all facets of operations up through its sales to GrubMarket, Inc. in 2018.
