One Natural Experience (O.N.E.), a manufacturer of all-natural, functional juices, appointed Ike Gill and John Moffitt in its Los Angeles-based corporate offices during Expo East in Boston.
Gill joins the company as chief operating officer/chief financial officer. Gill was previously the COO at Penta Water.
Moffitt joins O.N.E. as vice president of sales. Before joining O.N.E., Moffitt was senior vice president DSD sales & operations at Naked Juice. Both executives bring industry knowledge and are expected to play an instrumental role in the continued and impressive growth of O.N.E., the company says.
"We are expanding at a phenomenal rate," says Rodrigo Veloso, CEO/founder of O.N.E. "O.N.E. is at a critical stage—one common to young companies—and bringing on first-rate talent from the industry is of utmost importance. John Moffitt and Ike Gill are key additions to our team and will help us continue to grow at a triple digit rate."
A 20-year veteran of the bottled water industry, Gill has served in senior sales, marketing and business development positions with leading bottled water companies nationwide. In particular, Gill was instrumental in the success of brands such as Arrowhead, Sparkletts, Dannon, Poland Springs and Perrier. Most recently, he served as COO for Penta Water, an ultra-premium brand.
"Coupled with the industry experience that John and I bring to the company, I am confident that we can grow O.N.E. to be one of the most important players in the beverage industry," says Gill.
Moffitt brings more than 25 years experience within the consumer packaged goods industry to the company. He previously served in senior positions at ConAgra and Schering-Plough Healthcare. Before joining O.N.E., Moffitt held the position of senior vice president DSD Sales & operations at Naked Juice, helping transform the company, before and after the Pepsi acquisition, into a market leader in the super premium juice category.
O.N.E.'s product line includes O.N.E. Coconut Water (11.2 ounce and 1 liter) and O.N.E Açaí (11.2 ounces and 1 liter). Two new products were launched this summer: O.N.E Cashew and O.N.E. Coffee Berry made from the fruit of the coffee plant. O.N.E. beverages are exclusively packaged in Tetra Pak cartons, which are sustainable packages made mainly from renewable resources.
