Seal the Seasons, the first national brand to sell locally grown frozen produce, has added Serafina Palandech as VP of sales, and Tom Healy as senior sales advisor. Over the past 10 years, Palandech founded, scaled, and sold her own organic chicken nugget venture. Healy played a significant sales role at both Vitamin Water and Pirates Booty prior to their successful acquisition.
