AF
: What are the biggest challenges
you face in your role?
JB
: With a tighter almond supply, we
have to look out into the market to
identify where we can get the greatest
return for our growers. It requires a bit
of strategy as a salesperson.
CC
: Today it’s a toss-up between our
local European Union competition,
current currency markets and our duty
disadvantage.
AF
: What is your favorite
Blue Diamond
product or your favorite way to use
almonds as an ingredient?
JB
:
Honey Chipotle
– I love the sweet and
spicy combo!
CC:
Wasabi & Soy
almonds have always
been a favorite. Also, our new extra-fine
almond flour is great!
AF
: What are your hobbies outside of
work?
JB
: I enjoy hiking, reading, yoga and
spinning.
CC
: As a Minnesotan, I am an avid ice
hockey player and fan, having played
since I was 2-years-old – Go Rangers!
I also enjoy going to as many baseball
games as I can – Go Nationals!
