ROAR Organic Welcomes Mark Nino as Vice President of Sales

NEW YORK— ROAR Organic, the USDA Organic, low-calorie, low-sugar electrolyte beverage with antioxidants and B-vitamins, has announced that Mark Nino has been appointed Vice President of Sales. Utilizing more than 20 years of consumer-packaged goods experience in the food and beverage industry, Nino will own the development of key strategic growth plans, management of major retailers and distributors, as well as expand sales initiatives for the lifestyle brand, ensuring ROAR Organic’s success in 2020 and beyond. Nino will be partnering with President & COO, Bart Silvestro and CMO, Eric Berniker, to deliver on founder Roly Nesi’s brand vision.

As a veteran in sales for consumer-packaged goods, Nino joins ROAR after serving as Vice President of Sales for Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Co. where he successfully grew the brand into a top competitor within the meat snack category. Prior to Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Co., Nino held senior roles at glaceau vitaminwater and smartwater, which was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company, and at Popchips, where he helped grow the brand from $3 million in sales to more than $65 million.

“As we have worked to build and structure the perfect team from top to bottom over the last 12 months, we felt the one key missing component was a great sales leader,” said Roly Nesi, CEO and Founder of ROAR Organic. “After Mark’s consistent success in leading high-performing sales teams for top food and beverage brands, we are thrilled to announce him as a new addition to our team as we position ourselves to have a record-breaking 2020.”
