This position resulted in our move to Burlington, Ontario. It remained the corner stone of the marketing strategy of Jarvis Clark after I left and set the company apart from competitors in the international arena. Therewith, I became the sixth successive generation within our family, each time going from oldest son to oldest son since the 1840's, specializing in food products. JTI offers a variety of vegetables and fruits, fresh and in cans or jars from major packers in Spain, Italy, Peru, Chile and a variety of other countries. Asparagus products are becoming increasingly important within our portfolio.
People are the main assets of any organization.
A leadership role requires an attitude and willingness to meet reasonable needs of all and to motivate and empower others in achieving clear goals. The need for urgency in many activities is clear to those who understand that windows of opportunities are not open forever. Yet, the key to our success is also based on vision, excellence and maintaining high levels of trust and reliability in relationships. Somehow, we often reap what we sow, and but without sowing there is no reaping. The sowing and deciding how to sow is at least half the fun.
