Vice PresidentMichael was raised in the agricultural industry, on a farm that produced fruits and vegetables. He graduated from UC Berkeley, majoring in Latin American studies in 2006.
Michael is a former decathalon athlete. Decathalon lasts for 2 days, with 10 events. The training was intensive. Thus, as an athlete, he had to keep balanced intake, which included more bananas than the average person. This is because potassium is really key for your muscle health. At that time, the bananas were keeping him strongly finishing.
Today, he is inspired to work for Stanazo Inc. He understands that, without heavy training, the best day to day regiment, is to have a banana for each day. His mission aligns with the company goal - to ensure that consumers will have the ability to have bananas in different ripening stages without waste.
