About Kevin Manion

Kevin Manion has spent his career leading finance inside large-scale food and agriculture businesses, where operational complexity and financial discipline go hand in hand. Across roles at companies like Sunsweet Growers and Calavo Growers, he has worked at the center of production, processing, and distribution, supporting decisions that impact performance across the supply chain.

What sets his perspective apart is the range of business structures he has worked across: grower cooperatives, private equity-backed businesses, publicly traded companies, and family-owned operations. Each brings different financial pressures, reporting needs, and expectations. That breadth gives him a clear view of where businesses struggle financially, where systems help, and where they fall short.

That experience shapes his advisory work with Folio3 AgTech, bringing a CFO’s view of what financial and operational systems need to deliver, and why it matters in practice.
