Fruitist has appointed Rich Sullivan as chief financial officer and added Thomas Seifert and June Yang to its Board of Directors. These appointments bring expertise in finance, governance, and technology to the company's executive team and Board, at a time when it continues to grow at a significant pace and expand distribution across the U.S. and globally.
Sullivan brings more than 25 years of experience with high-growth, public companies. He has held senior roles at DreamWorks, Twitter, STX Entertainment, and, most recently, served as CFO of SurveyMonkey.
"Rich's financial leadership and deep capital markets experience will strengthen our foundation as we continue to grow globally and expand our reach to new consumers," said Steve Magami, co-founder and chief executive officer of Fruitist. "He is the right leader to guide our finance strategy through the next stage of growth."

Seifert joins the Board of Directors as audit committee chair. Seifert is the CFO of Cloudflare where he guided the company through its IPO and helped scale it into a market leader with a $74 billion market cap. He previously held senior executive positions at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Symantec, and is recognized for his expertise in global finance, governance, and operational execution.
"Thomas' global experience and disciplined approach to financial stewardship will provide valuable guidance to me and the Board as we execute Fruitist's roadmap," said Magami.
The company also welcomed Yang as an independent director.

"June is at the forefront of AI innovation and market disruption. She has a rare blend of business and technology leadership that will help us harness technology to transform agriculture and create long-term value for consumers and shareholders alike," said Magami.
"These appointments add best-in-class talent to our leadership team and Board," said Magami. "Rich, Thomas, and June each have proven records of scaling world-class companies. Their decision to join Fruitist underscores the strength of our strategy and the scale of our opportunity."
