LIFE on the BOG
Welcome, Abigail Buckwalter
A special guest helped our CranOps team kick off the start of the cranberry harvest: Abigail Buckwalter, the new CEO of Ocean Spray.
Abigail, as she prefers to be called, provided our team with an overview of her first three months on the job. She’s clearly a smart lady, but very down-to-earth. We left feeling like we had learned a lot… and made a new friend.
She spoke of four Ps: People (customers as well as employees), Priorities (being focused), Pipeline (how we as a co-op get to market), and Potential – our future.
Under her leadership, we foresee Ocean Spray introducing appealing new products, cutting inefficiencies, and building on the historic, beloved Ocean Spray brand. We can’t wait!
