After growing up in Tucson, AZ, watching my father, Andy D’Arrigo, run his produce brokerage company out of Nogales, AZ, I started at D’Arrigo California right out of college as a sales assistant. After 3 ½ years, I was promoted to marketing manager, and in 2013, began a marketing campaign for the company that frequently brought me to New York City to work with an ad agency. Among the goals of the marketing campaign was a repositioning of the Andy Boy brand as a distinct entity of the company and the re-introduction of Andy Boy Broccoli Rabe into the millennial age.
With a desire to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and move to New York, in 2015 I was hired by D’Arrigo New York as Vice President of Marketing and Communication. In my current role, I wear many hats. I am now involved in the buying and sales side of the business, as well as business development and marketing the D’Arrigo New York brand.
