Gina Manz is the Executive Vice President of River Valley Foods, and it's only right for such a natural born leader. Gina has a presence about her that is hard to describe. She trusts her team to solve problems, and knows that the key to a good working business relationship (whether it be employer/employee or sales rep/client) is problem solving. It only works if everybody wins.

We'll learn about her career, from travel agent, to jewelry, to frozen food, to EVP.

Plus, River Valley Foods is often a key distribution partner for emerging and small local/regional brands looking for presence on supermarket shelves like Wegmans, TOPS, Price Chopper, etc.. Gina will tell us a bit about what she's looking for in those brands that tells her they're ready for the limelight.
