“I am very excited to join Welch’s during such an exciting time for the brand,” said Bynum. “On top of the … grapes grown by more than 800 farm-owners, Welch’s is truly an American staple with a very impressive history within the CPG industry. I see so much growth potential and opportunity to foster the advancement of the business and expand Welch’s reach across the country.”
