Reilly joins founders Alex Whitmore and Kathleen Fulton to lead the company in the growing dark chocolate category.
“This is a dream job,” Reilly said. “Alex and Kathleen and the team have built a very solid foundation. Taza manufactures its own product, a huge advantage, and there is a focus on smart growth. Most importantly, our stone ground chocolate is bold and superior. I am literally ‘like a kid in a candy store’ every day.”
Reilly brings management and marketing experience to build on the company’s strong foundation as a manufacturer of premium, organic stone-ground chocolate. Prior to joining Taza, Reilly spent a year consulting with clients Blue Cross Blue Shield MA and Kaplan University.
Reilly also served as managing partner/executive director for advertising firm Arnold Worldwide for 20 years, responsible for managing a group of clients including John Frieda, Jergens, Santander Bank, Huntington Bank and others.
