LANGLEY — ReFeed Canada announces that Dino Accili has joined its team as President and COO. Dino has had a career in the waste management, ag-food, and horticulture supply spaces in a variety of leadership and business development roles, most recently with Greenstar Plant Products and Hydrofarm.
After completing his degree in Urban and Environmental Planning with sights set on becoming a landscape architect, Dino decided to spend some time exploring the business world. ReFeed reports that he found that he was passionate about the manufacture and distribution of horticultural and industrial products and went on to spend years working in this field.
After starting out in the business for the City of Vancouver’s City Farmer program, he moved on to be the National Sales Manager for Allies Wholesale Garden Supplies selling in the commercial agriculture, horticulture, and garden centre markets, and building national and international distribution channels. After a run with Allies, Dino went on to build and lead sales organizations for medium and large companies in the lumber and waste businesses including Woodtone Building Products and Waste Management of Canada.
Dino met ReFeed Canada’s CVO Stuart Lilley early on and continued to be in touch and follow ReFeed as it developed its Circular Nutrition™ model. Dino reportedly saw a fit between what he wanted to do next and what ReFeed was trying to achieve. He joined ReFeed as President and COO this fall. Since joining Refeed, Dino has reportedly worked with Stuart to sign multiple distribution deals, developed a distribution network of partners, and created a growth strategy for manufacturing soil amendments and building out infrastructure.
“We believe that Dino is exactly the right person at the right time to help drive ReFeed Canada’s development, expand our footprint, increase our impacts on the food system, and grow our business,” said ReFeed Founder & CVO Stuart Lilley. “We’re thrilled that someone with his track record believes in what we’re doing enough to come on board and believe that he will help us fulfill our mission of fixing our broken food system.”
