JOH names VP of produce for north central region
JOH has promoted Brian LaMarche to vice president of produce, north central region. Since joining JOH in early 2025, LaMarche has quickly made a meaningful impact, helping strengthen the company’s growing presence in produce across the North Central market.
LaMarche has more than 25 years of experience in the produce industry. He began his career as a produce manager with a leading regional grocery wholesaler and later served as a produce/floral specialist and category manager for a prominent Midwest retailer, where he consistently drove strong results across sales, distribution, expense control and profitability.
Prior to joining JOH, LaMarche held leadership roles in sales and business development at a national sales and marketing agency.
“Brian has been a tremendous addition to our north central team,” said Brian Maguire, executive vice president of produce. “In a short time, he has built strong relationships, delivered results, and helped elevate our capabilities across the region. We’re excited to see him step into this leadership role.”
LaMarche lives in Minnesota with his wife, Lisa, and their four children. A passionate Minnesota Vikings fan, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, attending concerts and exploring the outdoors.
