RAWZ Expands Sales Team with New Territory Managers
RAWZ Natural Pet Food, a family-owned company dedicated to providing minimally processed nutrition for dogs and cats while giving back to those in need, is pleased to announce the addition of two new members to its growing sales team. Annette Flood has joined as Midwest Territory Manager and Teresa Rubio has been named West Coast Territory Manager.
Annette brings more than 20 years of pet industry experience, having held a variety of roles spanning customer service and sales for distribution and manufacturing, as well as buying for a 133-store retail chain. Her diverse background gives her a broad perspective of the industry, allowing her to connect with both retailers and distribution partners on a personal and professional level. Based in central Illinois, Annette will oversee the Midwest region, strengthening partnerships with independent pet retailers and helping them succeed with RAWZ’s line of nutrient-rich pet foods.
Outside of work, she and her husband live on a small farm where they raise market sheep and cattle, along with chickens, guineas, a miniature donkey, three dogs and two cats. Family is at the heart of her life, and she and her husband have four adult children as well as four grandchildren with another on the way.
RAWZ is also thrilled to welcome Teresa Rubio as its new West Coast Territory Manager. Teresa was first introduced to the pet nutrition world after working at IB Pet, an independent pet store in San Diego, where she helped countless pet parents find the right solutions for their companions throughout the course of eight years. She is passionate about supporting retailers and helping pet parents discover the benefits of RAWZ’s recipes.
At home, Teresa stays busy with her rescue dog, Appa and her sweet yet sassy cat, Doechii. She and her husband, PJ, love spending time outdoors fishing or walking along the beach. Now, the couple is preparing for their biggest adventure yet: welcoming their baby girl this December.
“We are thrilled to welcome Annette and Teresa to the RAWZ family,” commented Janet Scott, Owner of RAWZ Natural Pet Food. “They each bring unique experience and a true dedication to helping independent retailers succeed, which will be invaluable as we continue to share our products and mission with more pet parents across the country.”
RAWZ remains committed to its mission of delivering the highest-quality nutrition for pets while donating 100 percent of profits (after taxes and reserves) to cat and dog rescues, providing service dogs and supporting spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury causes. With Annette and Teresa on board, the company is well-positioned to further that mission and strengthen relationships throughout the pet community.
