Revol Greens' new COO is an industry veteran

Revol Greens continues its acquisition of key leadership talent with the recent hiring of Alan Applonie as Chief Operating Officer (COO). Well-known within the produce industry, Applonie was a fixture at one of the most respected field farming operations in the U.S., Taylor Farms, and was an integral part of the company's evolution and success during his 20-year tenure.

Applonie was selected to lead end-to-end facility operations for Revol Greens' network of sustainable greenhouse locations coast to coast. He has extensive experience in running multi-location enterprise operations from seeding to postharvest and production.

"Alan will play a critical leadership role, bringing a wealth of expertise having developed and operated processing facilities within a diverse lettuce category that continues to evolve broadly from commodity offerings toward value-added," says Michael Wainscott, Revol Greens CEO. "As we continue to invest in technology and sustainable farming, I know Alan will make a significant impact throughout our entire enterprise by building upon the foundation of knowledge that has been well refined over 20 years of learnings with a best-in-class operator."

Applonie will plan, direct, coordinate, and oversee all operational activities, ensuring the development and implementation of efficient operations and cost-effective systems to meet current and future needs for Revol Greens.
