"Natalia has demonstrated incredible leadership and creativity in managing our marketing program," said David Baxter, vice president of sales and marketing at Natural Delights. "Her ability to adapt and strengthen our brand's presence has been invaluable. We're excited to see her continue to elevate our marketing strategy in this expanded role."
Weber, who began her career with the company as trade marketing manager, will transition into a full-time business development manager role. Over the years, she has successfully managed B2B advertising, trade shows, and sales support, while also growing the company's Amazon account and strengthening retail relationships in the Midwest. In her new position, she will focus on supporting retail partners and driving growth in the Southeast region, where she now resides.
Telesmanic, director of international sales, will expand her focus to lead West Coast sales, including the Costco global account. She has traveled to 18 countries over the past three years, representing the company in both established and emerging markets. Her deep understanding of global markets and cultural preferences around dates will be instrumental as she strengthens the company's presence on the West Coast and with Costco's international operations.

His leadership has been pivotal in driving sales and building strategic partnerships in North America. His experience will be key as Natural Delights expands into the Middle East, a region with strong demand for high-quality dates.
"These promotions reflect the strength of our team and the exciting opportunities ahead," added Baxter. "As we continue to grow globally, the leadership and expertise of Bridgette, Shayna, and Mauro, alongside our sales team will help us drive positive business results and strengthen our relationships with retail and foodservice partners."
