June 2 Meeting
Gold From Dirt:  California Agriculture, The $36 Biillion Global Industry Most Of Us Never Notice

Sure, you know there are farms and ranches in California. But did you know there are more than 81,000 of them, with more than $36 billion in revenues, generating more than a million jobs?  Recently, private equity firms have been active in this sector, buying up what have traditionally been family-owned businesses. What’s the outlook for this critically important industry? We heard the answers from a panel of experts at the June 2 meeting of ACG 101:
 
Kevin Elms, Chief Financial Officer of Dole Packaged Foods, a division of the $6.8 billion Dole Food Company, Inc.
 
Hernando Ramirez, Chief Financial Officer of Reiter Affiliated Companies, the world’s  largest year-round producer of fresh berry products.
 
Jim Ramirez, Senior Vice President of City National Bank, specializing in agricultural lending,.
 
Melissa Sayer, a partner with Nordman Cormany Hair & Compton, whose legal practice include agricultural issues and who operates a family citrus and avocado ranch.

May 5 Meeting
Jessica Iclisoy, Founder and CEO of California Baby

It’s not unusual for a first-time parent to eat healthier and pay more attention to the chemicals in household products, to make things safer for Baby. But Jessica Icliso, our May 5 breakfast speaker, had a passion to find safe, natural products for her child, and turned that into a flourishing business. Her company, California Baby, now generates millions making natural, gentle shampoos, skin care and other products for infants and children. They are carried in high-end boutiques and Target.

With no training in chemistry, she developed what became her first product, "Calming Shampoo and Bodywash." What had started in her kitchen became a thriving company with fiercely loyal customers from Hollywood to Hong Kong. Her husband, Arthur, dropped his real estate development activities to handle the business side of California Baby.
