Jones Soda Co. announced the promotion of 38-year CPG and foodservice industry veteran Mark Murray to President. Murray began working with the company as a consultant earlier this year, has served as president since September 1, 2020, and helped engineer a turnaround that saw the company achieve a 17% year-over-year third quarter revenue increase and improved gross margins after six consecutive quarters of revenue decline. Prior to joining Jones Soda, Murray served as the president of JGC Foods. In his six years with JGC, including four as vice president of sales and marketing, Murray created and implemented a broad range of strategic initiatives that nearly tripled company sales, developed new channels, achieved significant cost savings, and led to the acquisition of JGC by a capital fund.
