Calavo Promotes Lindeman to CEO as Cole Retires

Dow Jones11-12

By Connor Hart

Calavo Growers promoted B. John Lindeman to its top role, succeeding Lee Cole, who will retire effective Dec. 8.

Lindeman most recently served as the avocado producer's top finance chief. He will bring with him to the CEO role deep industry knowledge, strategic insight and significant experience in mergers and acquisitions, all of which will serve Calavo in advancing its strategic priorities, Chair Kathleen Holmgren said Wednesday.

Lindeman previously departed Calavo to hold executive roles at Hydrofarm Holdings Group, including CEO and CFO. Prior, served as finance chief and corporate secretary of Calavo from 2015 to 2020.

"I'm honored to return to Calavo and excited to lead this talented team," he said.

Upon stepping down as CEO next month, Cole will continue to serve on Calavo's board.
