Swisher has named a new executive vice president of sales. Josh Harrison (pictured below), who joined the Jacksonville, Florida-based company in April as vice president of national accounts, steps into the new role overseeing the company’s sales strategy and customer engagement initiatives.
“Josh has an outstanding record of delivering results and a relentless focus on the customer, qualities that will continue to propel Swisher’s growth and success,” said Neil Kiely, Swisher president and CEO. “He brings the drive, discipline, and innovative leadership needed to further strengthen our market position and elevate our iconic brands.”
Prior to joining Swisher, Harrison spent eight years at S.C. Johnson, Racine, Wisconsin, where he served in several leadership roles, including general manager of S.C. Johnson’s Canadian business and most recently chief customer officer for the United States and Puerto Rico. He has also held senior-level positions at Conagra Brands, Chicago, and Campbell’s Canada, Mississauga, Ontario, bringing more than two decades of commercial experience in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry.
“I’m honored to lead this talented sales organization and build on Swisher’s legacy of excellence,” said Harrison. “Together, we’ll continue to expand the reach of new and existing brands and deliver exceptional value to our customers and partners.”
Established in 1861, Swisher sells tobacco and alternative products under several divisions, including Swisher Sweets Cigar Co., Drew Estate and Rogue.
