Homestead, Fla.-based Brooks Tropicals Inc. promoted Sam Skogstad from purchased fruit manager to director of sourcing and Sue Garcia from purchased fruit assistant to saleswoman.
The grower-shipper in early May promoted Sam Skogstad from purchased fruit manager to director of sourcing. Aside from growing Brooks’ import business, Skogstad will develop Brooks’ Belize papaya program.
The company is planning to significantly expand its McAllen, Texas, crossings of Belize papayas during the next couple of years, said Mary Ostlund, director of marketing.
Skogstad has worked for Brooks since 2001.
Sue Garcia, who was a purchased fruit assistant, is now a saleswoman. Garcia works with many customers, including West Coast and terminal market buyers. Garcia joined Brooks in 2007.
