Emerald Coast Growers has expanded its sales team with the addition of Katy Furnas, an experienced professional with more than a decade in the horticulture industry.
“Katy’s experience enables her to understand and speak to each grower’s unique needs,” says Cheri Markowitz, sales manager.
Furnas's career includes time in sales management and lead sales for Ag 3, Inc., and she grew up working in the family foliage nursery.
Her background positions her well to provide the gold standard support customers and plant brokers expect from Emerald Coast Growers. Based in the central Florida area, Furnas will spend her time traveling to customers’ locations, attending trade shows, conducting presentations and talks, visiting the Pensacola and Lancaster facilities and providing support for broker sales reps and customers.
Furnas may be reached at katy.furnas@ecgrowers.com.
