LEADERSHIP

Sun World enjoys a diversity of talent from:

  • People who’ve spent decades at the company and who’ve built close, enduring relationships with our customers and the highest level of expertise in variety development; and from 

  • An expanded leadership team and new colleagues across departments, who were handpicked to make certain Sun World remains at the leading edge of emerging technologies and new thinking. We are, above all, a company who’s always asking ‘what’s next,’ so it’s critical that we hire the very best people to make sure we have those answers.

     

“I came to Sun World after spending most of my career at large corporations. What intrigued me about joining the team, was the chance to get closer to the customer, which is Priority One at Sun World. And to be part of an innovation culture where new ideas are celebrated, quickly deployed, tested and evaluated. This is simply a nimble company and I value our entrepreneurial spirit and mission-driven attitude.”
