Mr. Kiger has established a distinguished international career in produce management and quality assurance, marked by expertise in supply chain operations, project management, and stakeholder engagement.

In 2025, he assumed the role of Quality Assurance Director at Alpine Fresh LLC in Miami, Florida.

His responsibilities include overseeing comprehensive supply chain processes, coordinating cold treatment, transportation, and customer expectations for fruits and vegetables. Mr. Kiger's commitment to providing excellent eating experiences is reflected in his focus on product repeat demand.

Before joining Alpine Fresh LLC, Mr. Kiger served as the group head of quality at Unifrutti Group in Santiago, Chile, during the back half of 2025.
