The Jackfruit Co boosts its leadership team
The Jackfruit Company – which is gaining traction as a meat alternative owing to the unripe fruit's 'meaty' texture when cooked - has hired Gordon Cooper as SVP sales & marketing, and Dave Yonk as VP finance. Cooper has held leadership roles at Larabar, Ancient Harvest, Lucy’s and Teton Waters Ranch; while Yonk’s resume includes stints at Boulder Brands, Conagra Brands and PepsiCo.
