I have not known Sysco and FreshPoint’s Senior Director of Produce Sourcing for long, but from what I have gleaned in the process of putting together our latest IF List, I can confidently say Jon Greco is a loving father, a risk taker, and an extremely passionate member of our producesphere. As the industry ace strategically executes his role, backed by nearly three decades of experience with the company, we couldn’t waste an opportunity to get to know Jon a bit more with this list of IFs...
