Equitable Food Initiative is proud to welcome two employees filling new positions on the team. Joining EFI are Madelyn Edlin as marketing and sales manager and Toni Rosati as EFI’s data architect.
After beginning her career in the environmental nonprofit sector, Edlin transitioned to agriculture and fresh produce. Edlin joined EFI’s team in May, where she works on marketing campaigns and sales lead generation. When she’s not working, she can be found teaching yoga or hiking a mountain trail with her two dogs. “I was drawn to EFI because I could see how its unique approach to leadership training and continuous improvement makes a real difference in farming operations,” said Edlin. “I am excited to join this team of dedicated individuals actively working to strengthen an industry so vital to our wellbeing.”

Rosati also recently joined EFI as data architect for certifications and market-responsive programs. Prior to EFI, Rosati used her analytical skills to help companies design and build software and data systems that address customer challenges in intuitive ways. In startup, corporate and academic environments, she has worked on everything from software to search tools. When not working, she is often studying fungi or tending to her garden. Rosati will have a variety of responsibilities from serving clients with solutions to helping document and share EFI’s impact, data and technical systems. “Since starting with EFI, I have been continually inspired by the immense and diverse talent of the EFI team and our partners,” said Rosati. “I’m already impressed as I begin to better understand and quantify the impact this small-but-mighty team is having on the agricultural industry.”
“EFI continues to see great forward momentum, and the knowledge and experience Madelyn and Toni bring to the table will only help us reach our goals on a shorter timeline,” said LeAnne Ruzzamenti, director of marketing communications. “Madelyn’s experience and passion will serve us well as she connects with our audiences, and Toni’s data proficiency will provide the light needed to guide EFI’s technical and data systems. Wanting to make a difference is a popular attitude among today’s workforce, and our employees wholeheartedly believe in our organization’s mission and are key to making it happen.”
