Darigold appoints Mark Garth as its new chief financial officer

Seattle-based Darigold has appointed former Country Fresh Holdings executive Mark Garth as its new CFO and treasurer, effective from 27 November 2018.

Garth most recently served as the CFO of Country Fresh Holdings, and had previously held senior financial roles at companies such as Perdue Farms, Wells’ Dairy and Conagra.

Darigold claims that the appointment will aid its international expansion efforts, which the company accelerated earlier this year by announcing plans to open several new international offices.

The plans will allow the company to double its outreach from serving 20 countries to 40 worldwide., and Darigold has already opened new offices in Mexico City, Singapore and Shanghai, and says it plans to expand to other countries in the future.

Stan Ryan, president and CEO said: “We are thrilled to have Mark join the Darigold team.

“As Darigold embarks on the next century, after recently celebrating our 100-year anniversary, Mark will be instrumental in supporting our trajectory of international growth, customer focus, consumer innovation and sustainable business practices.

“He is a proven business leader who will help take our co-op to the next level.”

Garth added: “I’m looking forward to joining Darigold and working with a tremendous team during this exciting time of growth and international expansion.”
