Oppy strengthens Canadian sales leadership with return of Steve Young
Fresh produce giant Oppy is welcoming the return of Director of Canadian Sales Steve Young, who rejoined the company on January 5.
He'll lead the company's sales team in the Great White North, focusing on strategic growth, program expansion, and strong cross-team alignment.
“I’m incredibly excited to return to Oppy,” said Young. “So much has changed in the eight years I’ve been away. The growth of the company, the expansion of our capabilities, and the alignment with Dole have created exciting new opportunities, particularly for our Canadian customer base.”
A team player for Oppy in Canada
A 20-year industry veteran, Young first joined the company in 2008 as a sales representative and went on to hold leadership roles as sales manager and later director of sales for Canada before departing in 2018.
Most recently, Young served as vice president of sales at BCfresh Vegetables Inc., where he gained valuable experience working within a close-knit, highly focused organization.
“Steve has a proven ability to champion both internal teams and external partners," said Executive Vice President of Sales and General Manager of the East Coast, Brett Libke. "His industry insight will strengthen customer trust, accelerate growth opportunities, and align our sales team around shared goals and values.” 
With an eye on long-term business growth, Young will help lead the company forward by building on its strengths, expanding strategic programs, and ensuring seamless collaboration between teams to deliver value to customers across Canada.
