DOMINICK PANNO

Dominick was born and raised in Philadelphia.  He started his grocery career as a stocker at the young age of 18. He began working in the warehouse and distribution industry for a few years before returning to the grocery world through Whole Foods Market.  

 

Over his four years at Whole Foods, Dominick worked his way up from part-time associate, to team trainer and then to order writer. He found he had a knack for following sales trends, working with brand reps, and building effective displays. 

 

In his off time, Dominick loves hanging out with his friends and family, especially if camping during that time!

Born and raised just outside of Baltimore, MD, Rob started his grocery career at the age of 16 working for Safeway.  He started as a parcel pickup employee and through 15 years of hard work and learning every aspect of the Grocery store was moved into the Store Manager ranks.  Rob then went onto the sales side of the business working as a Sales Rep and District Manager for the Kellogg's company. While in these roles, he learned to develop relationships and really figure out how to grow the business.

SAM MCGILL

Regional Manager: Mid-Atlantic + South

sammie@yinyangnaturals.com

Sam was born and raised just outside of Seattle, WA. Growing up, she didn’t have much exposure to healthy eating and natural foods. She started working with Whole Foods in 2011 and she remembers her first day, walking through the aisles, unable to recognize a single brand. Today, she feels lost in conventional grocery stores. She spent 5 years with WFM and most of that time was spent in Grocery where she fell in love with merchandising, buying, and working directly with vendors. She also spent time in a grocery co-op before coming to Yin Yang Naturals. Natural foods changed her life and she is grateful for the community and conversations around health that are now present in her life.

She recently made a big leap and moved across the country to experience the other coast and a change of pace. On a weeknight, you can find her walking along the harbor in Fell’s Point with her fur child or eating unreasonable amounts of oysters.
