Todd Linsky
Todd Linsky, a veteran of over 28 years in the organic produce industry, started his career as a produce manager in a small natural foods store. He moved as a retailer to a pioneering Southern California multi-chain store in charge of all their produce departments. Todd continued to hone his skills. Working nights on the Los Angeles produce market as an organic buyer at S&S Produce, he started the next phase of his journey moving him eventually to its sister company, Ocean Organic, the first grower/shipper in the industry. In 1989 Todd was asked to represent one of those growers, and the Cal Organic sales company started. What began as a few hundred acres grew to almost forty thousand by 2014. Todd was elevated to the position of Vice President of Organic Sales under the ownership change to Grimmway Farms. In the spring of 2015 Todd left to fulfill his dream of starting his own company, Todd Linsky Consulting (TLC), to more effectively serve the comprehensive needs of businesses worldwide. His company’s goal is to help build brands and increase supplies while maintaining the integrity of the natural products industry.
