Working from Chile and Perú, Buc Calderon will serve Kincannon & Reed's agribusiness and food clients throughout Latin America.

Prior to the role, he worked extensively in Chilean agriculture, occupying key executive positions in recognized companies in the fruit export sector and agribusiness.

In a release, the company said he brought a "deep understanding" of the agricultural production value chain and its challenges, and served as a trusted adviser to producers, suppliers, and buyers of food products both in Chile and abroad.

Among his previous positions, Juan Pablo worked in the production area for Del Monte Fresh and David del Curto, and developed his executive commercial career at SQM, a global leader in specialty fertilizers. He is also the founder and general manager of Exactta Agroheadhunter, with more than 10 years of recruitment experience in both Chile and Perú.

"Chile and Perú are important markets in the Latin American region," said David Turner, managing partner for the firm in Latin America.

"They are relatively stable and growing in sectors like aquaculture, produce, and wineries; however, they have been underserved as global market members. Juan Pablo's regional expertise and background are a perfect match with Kincannon & Reed's status as the only executive search firm with global coverage in agribusiness."
