Edward Castillo has joined the company as senior director of sales. Castillo comes to Soil Connect from a sales as a service (SaaS) background and has valuable experience in the tech startup world. His most recent experience was as vice president of sales of Lovingly, an online floral industry platform.

Charlie Gregg has been brought on board as director of sales. Gregg comes from a construction sales background and brings a wealth of construction industry knowledge to the company's sales force. His most recent experience was as national sales director of Ecoscape Permeable Pavement.

"We are thrilled to have found both Edward and Charlie at such a crucial time in our growth," said Cliff Fetner, founder and CEO of Soil Connect.
