A note from founder and Tex-Mex aficionado, Ian Navarro
After fifteen years in high-growth foodservice distribution I started to see a theme among specialty food brands, challenges in representation with the distributor, sales, and end user. As I transitioned out of the corporate world and brands approached me for representation, I knew this was my opportunity to offer brands what they needed and to create a company to help others succeed.
Navarro Culinary Connections is the next step. It is the step that brands can take to have proper representation in a specialty food landscape with someone that will treat your brand like their own. Fractional sales representation means you finally get an expert in the industry to represent you at many levels in the supply chain, from helping manage your distributor relationship, getting to know the sales team, spending time alone in the field building chef relationships, reviewing numbers, representing you at shows and beyond. Partnering with someone that is passionate about the experience is exactly what you need. If you feel you're missing that extra touch and you need to grow your team but didn't know how - my next step is your next step.
