“Isaac brings an impressive depth of experience and track record of leadership success driving business critical initiatives within the food and beverage industry,” said Mike Keown, CEO and President of Farmer Bros. Co.

“With Isaac leading our finance organization, I believe we will be well-positioned to meet our growth goals as we transition to this next phase in the Company’s history.”

The Company’s current Treasurer and CFO, Mark J. Nelson, will step down from the position due to family considerations relating to the Company’s headquarters relocation to Northlake, Texas. Mr. Nelson will remain with the Company for a period of time to assist with the transition process.

“During Mark’s tenure, he provided exceptional leadership throughout the organization,” said Mr. Keown.

“He played a critical role in successfully executing our turn-around strategy, strengthening the Company’s finance and accounting functions, and ultimately helping drive the Company’s return to profitability.

In addition, he was an integral team member in developing our corporate relocation plan and assisting in its execution to date. We wish him continued success in his future endeavors,” Mr. Keown added.
