Jon Carney, the longtime vp of sales for La Flor Dominicana, is no longer at the company.

He joined the company in 2011 as a sales representative and, in 2013, was promoted to vp of sales, a role he has held since then. Earlier this week, he updated his social media to reflect that he was no longer at La Flor Dominicana and instead was focusing on Shoulder of Giants, an AI business development company that he started with his father.

“I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and focusing on my personal ventures,” said Carney in a statement to halfwheel.

La Flor Dominicana said it would be issuing a formal statement soon.

In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
