Gallo
Ryan Fox, Director of Sales Recruiting

Gallo’s Sales Leadership Development Program has been a major contributor to the success of the greater sales organization for a number of decades, bringing high level collegiate talent from campuses nationwide through entry level distributor roles, preparing them for success in Gallo sales roles across the country. For the past decade, our SLDP summer sales internship has provided another avenue for entry into the program, combining experiential sales days with exposure to numerous Gallo roles, culminating in a project presented to senior sales leadership. 

Ryan Fox started his career in this program after graduating from Saint Joseph’s University, beginning in New Hampshire as a Sales Consultant and District Manager. After roles in New Jersey within the distributor as a sales training manager and with Gallo as a Business Development Manager, Ryan joined the sales recruiting organization in 2019. After covering both the Midwest and Northeast, including a shift to a focus on virtual recruiting and the execution of a virtual internship during the pandemic, he joined Johnson Brothers as the Director of Recruitment, overseeing collegiate, and both commercial and operations recruiting, nationally. Ryan recently rejoined Gallo as Director of Sales Recruiting, and hopes that the prospects the team meets on campuses today find the same fulfillment and enjoyment in their careers via the SLDP Program that he has thus far. He is passionate about both the identification and recruitment of top talent as well as the numerous programs Gallo hosts that are focused on retention, and is proud to lead the talented team whose efforts are truly the reason for this award.  

Ryan lives in New Jersey and enjoys nothing more than spending time with his wife, Jess, and one year old daughter, Harper.
