Louis Quintana - Northern California Partner, Ridgeline Sales Team
Key Account Manager, Ridgeline Natural Food Brokers
I have had a well rounded career in the food business as a retailer, manufacturer and broker
that has occurred entirely in the Northern California Bay Area. I began my career in the conventional grocery business by working in a chain store and an independent retailer chain. I worked in conventional grocery stores for years and managed departments. In 2004, I left the stores and became a manufacturers rep to Bay Area retailers.
My journey as a food broker began in 2006 when an opportunity came up to work for a
food broker who represented national and specialty brands. I progressed to a natural foods broker in 2014 adding natural foods operation methods to my skill set. I joined the Ridgeline Sales team in 2018 and enjoy calling on conventional independents, natural foods retailers, and chains in Nor Cal such as Raleys, Safeway, Lucky and Save Mart.

I switched over to natural and organic foods working for Ridgeline thirteen years ago, and have never looked back.

Jeannie Wolk - Northern California Partner, Ridgeline Sales Team
Administrator, Ridgeline Natural Food Brokers
After graduating high school. I went to work for Unified Western Grocers. I then left to pursue a
sales career working for a broker selling private label brands. That Broker was purchased by Ridgeline and then we started to sell Natural Brands in 2007. I have worked with many brands through the years and seeing their success at retail brings a smile to my face. I look forward every day to see my store buyers and work with them to build sales that benefits them and my vendors that I work for. I have always maintained in my work and personal life to treat people the way you want to be treated.
