Justin’s brings in Peter Burns as its new president & CEO
Next we move to Boulder-based nut butter pioneer Justin’s, which has brought in former Celestial Seasonings president Peter Burns as its new president and CEO.
Founder Justin Gold said: “As we continue to build the Justin’s brand, it is critical that we bring in a seasoned veteran who has the expertise to take our company to the next level."
He added: “As the founder of Justin’s, I will always be involved in the day-to-day, especially as it relates to the company culture, values and vision. Peter’s role is to lay the foundation to take us there. I could not have imagined a better person to fill this role. Not only is Peter a friend and a mentor, but he is an incredibly talented leader that I am fortunate to have join our team.”
Since joining the company earlier this year, Burns has been building up the operations team and has hired a senior vice president of sales and a vice president of sales.
