Brenda Wellman filled the Director of Demand Planning. Before joining Traditional, Brenda worked as a Sr. Demand Manager at PepsiCo in Denver. Looking for a company to align with her holistic and organic lifestyle, Traditional was the perfect match.

Michael Williams filled the Director of Manufacturing role. Having previously lived in the Bay Area, Michael and his family were keen to return. Having spent over 15 years with Safeway, Michael was seeking a new challenge. Given the chance to switch gears and work in the organic tea industry was a challenge Michael couldn’t pass up.
