The team at CMI Orchards continues to expand with the recent addition of Ellie Tucker as sales account manager. Tucker has 20 years of experience in the tree fruit industry, following in the footsteps of her late mother who sold fruit for numerous Washington apple producers. It was her mother’s encouragement that inspired Tucker to fall in love with the fruit industry.
“I’m so excited to be a part of the CMI team. It’s really like being part of a family here,” says Tucker. “I’m very lucky to join a company with so many wonderful opportunities for growth and innovation on the horizon.” Tucker adds that with CMI having a diverse portfolio of both conventional and organic mainline and proprietary varieties, she believes it’s going to be a fantastic opportunity to team up with retail partners looking for the very best varieties all available under one roof.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ellie Tucker on board,” says Steve Castleman, vice president of sales. “Not only does she bring with her immense knowledge and experience, but she also has a proven track record of building strong relationships and bringing innovative ideas to the table. From the beginning, it was evident Ellie would be a huge asset to our team.”
CMI’s president Bob Mast says that Tucker’s passion for sales and her genuine enthusiasm for embracing new opportunities made adding her to the team incredibly easy. “Ellie’s roots run deep in the Wenatchee Valley, and her decades of experience in the industry—along with her passion and genuine enthusiasm for embracing new opportunities—make her the perfect fit,” says Mast.
Tucker began her position at CMI on August 7th.
