Mr. Fronzaglia currently serves on the board of Quinn Snacks Inc. (where he also served as interim COO from December 2018 through July 2019). He has also served on the boards of Grillo’s Pickles, Inc. (October 2016 – January 2021), I and Love and You (May 2015 – April 2017), Little Secrets Candies (October 2014 – July 2018) and Spindrift Beverage Co., Inc. (January 2013 – February 2017).
