Kathleen Triou, VP of Domestic Marketing at the U.S. Potato Board will become the chief marketing officer for Avocados From Mexico starting July 1. She will join former USPB CEO Tim O’Connor who left his post earlier this spring to head up Avocados From Mexico.
Triou said in an email sent to colleagues, “With potatoes I’ve had an incredible experience immersing myself in the world of a mature commodity – and all of the challenges that come with that. With Avocados from Mexico I’ll be working on a still-emerging commodity – and all of the challenges I’m sure that will come with that as well! It’s just the thing I was feeling eager to do.”
Triou has been with the USPB since 2008.
