DELTA, British Columbia, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Chocxo, the astonishingly delicious, organic chocolate brand that is naturally low in real sugar has expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Christian Quie as Vice President of Sales, effective this month. In this role, Quie will be responsible for strategic partnership building, leading the sales team to meet goals, and driving new sales opportunities for Chocxo within North America.
"Chocxo's leadership team has a rich history in the chocolate industry and is poised to leverage this expertise as it expands in the US market. I'm excited to be a part of a team that has such extensive category expertise and controls its own destiny through its vertically-integrated supply chain," says Christian Quie, Vice President of Sales at Chocxo. "My priorities for Chocxo this year are building our North American distribution by executing our channel strategy, creating an undeniable velocity story by picking targeted geographies where we will over-invest, and securing strong partnerships with our Tier 1 retailers. I am eager to begin driving strong results by pulling together a best-in-class sales team. We want people on the team that have qualities of high integrity, a relentless pursuit to win, and passions for chocolate and for great culture. We believe in our product, our people, and our capabilities and are looking to partner with retailers to unlock the potential of Chocxo."
Quie joins the Chocxo executive team with more than 15 years of experience as an executive leader in consumer product sales. Prior to joining Chocxo, Quie launched BEAR Yoyos in the US, served as President of Maverick Snacks, and led Sales at HumanCo & Cosmic Bliss. He started his CPG career with almost ten years at General Mills working across multiple categories, channels, and customers.

In addition to Quie's new role at Chocxo, the brand will partner with IGNITE Sales Management at Acosta, a leading sales broker partner, to help Chocxo further develop and penetrate the U.S. market.

About Chocxo
Chocxo, which was founded in 2014 as a bean-to-bar chocolate company in Irvine, CA recently scaled production by adding capacity in its Canadian chocolate factory. Chocxo's seasoned chocolatiers span multiple generations, and they use only fine flavor cocoa beans that are naturally nutty, fruity, and less bitter than traditional "bulk" cocoa beans. Less bitterness means less need for additional sugar. Only a small amount of organic sugar is needed to underscore their chocolate's already delightful taste, without any substitute sweeteners or "natural flavor enhancers". Chocxo products have been recognized by Good Housekeeping as the Best Chocolate Nut Butter Cup for its Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Coconut Almond Butter Cup, by Cosmopolitan as the Best Chocolate Snack for its Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, and by Clean Eating as one of the Best Chocolates for its Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter Cups.
