We announced the Thought Leader Panel at the recently completed edition of The New York Produce Show and Conference with this piece:

As the Industry Transitions from The Great Collaboration to The Great Acceleration:
Announcing the 2021 Perishable Pundit Thought-Leaders at The New York Produce Show And Conference

Then we added some luminaries to the panel with this piece:

Thought Leadership Counts – Broader, Deeper And Rising Higher!

Then, schedules resolved, the stars aligned and last minute we were able to add a superstar from Hunts Point and the wholesale sector:

Stefanie Katzman
Executive Vice President
S. Katzman Produce

Stefanie Katzman is Executive Vice President and fourth generation in the family business at
S. Katzman Produce, a leading wholesaler/distributor of produce based in NYC. She works alongside her father, Stephen Katzman, who is President and Owner of the 100+ year old business, which is SQF-certified, sources nationally and internationally, and provides a full range of fruits, vegetables, berries, specialties, services, and offerings throughout the United States.

It was a pleasure to have Stefanie holding the banner high for the wholesale sector, and, in general, the panel was thought-provoking and insightful. We appreciate the willingness of such industry luminaries to share their knowledge to help make the industry better.

We are lining up the Thought Leader Panel for the London Produce Show and Conference, and it is going to be epic. Get information on attending here.
