Komo Plant-Based Foods (YUM) has appointed U.S. sales agent Staci Owens to manage Komo’s retail expansion into the U.S.
Staci has over 20 years of experience in the natural foods marketplace, including sales management experience with Coconut Bliss, Hero Nutritionals, Salba Corp., and Nature’s Path Foods.
Ms. Owens will leverage her established relationships and frozen channel knowledge to build retail and distribution networks in the U.S. for Komo. Working closely with Cornerstone Sales, Ms. Owen will launch a sampling program targeting grocery chains in the Western U.S. and will develop and oversee sales broker coverage for retail sales across all regions in the U.S.
“The opportunity in the United States for plant-based brands is major,” says Komo operating subsidiary CEO Jeffrey Ma. “We’re excited to have Staci Owens, who is based in Colorado, working to build out Komo’s expansion in the US. Staci’s experience across natural food categories and contacts in the industry will be key for our US strategy. We are extremely happy with the dedication of the team at Cornerstone Sales, who have been instrumental in the success of Komo’s rapid retail expansion to date.”
Staci Owens was formerly a US Regional Sales Manager for Nature’s Path, a global brand with annual sales of $300 million, where she was responsible for multiple categories, from frozen waffles to single-serve bars, with hundreds of cereal products in between. Staci also acted as National Sales Manager for Mass Grocery for Coconut Bliss, which created the first plant-based ice cream in 2005.
According to the Good Food Institute, the U.S. retail market for plant-based foods is worth $7 billion, up from $5.5 billion in 2019, and grew 27% in the past year.
