Most recently, McGuinness was the food safety and quality assurance manager at Yoshida Foods International and has held leadership positions at GVB Biopharma and Portland Bottling Co.

“We are pleased to welcome Ian and Angela to our team,” said Icon CEO Thom King in a press release. “Their commitment to continuous improvement and experience in the food and beverage industry will benefit Icon and our customers. Ian will be instrumental as we continue working to ensure a steady, unbroken supply of the high-quality raw ingredients Icon uses in our natural sweeteners.
