Kevin Andrew
Senior Vice-President, Operations, Illume
A former Chair of Western Growers, in 2014, Illume recruited Kevin to create a table grape program built on the concept of staying ahead of the expanding innovation curve with a full suite of proprietary, new varieties.
As Sun World’s COO and head grower for 20+ years, Kevin was responsible for growing operations comprising 20,000+ acres of table grapes, citrus, stone fruit, and row crops in the San Joaquin Valley/Mexico and over 3,000 acres in the Coachella Valley. Kevin’s growing ability is incomparable in the industry; breeders often use his crops as their “showcase” vineyards for grower and customer tours, as well as seek his advice on how to develop and grow their varieties.
