Prior to joining Goya, Peter Unanue honed his skills as a project manager at Merck-Medco Managed Care and at Baxter Healthcare. He joined Goya and was named director of distribution in 1997, and in 2001 was promoted to v.p. of distribution and logistics. Under his leadership, Goya has implemented an automated routing system for customer deliveries at all distribution centers. In his newly expanded role, Unanue will not only continue to oversee all logistical operations for Goya's 14 facilities and distribution centers throughout the U.S., but will play a significant role in the overall management of the company's operations.

Within this role, Perez assumed responsibility for all aspects of product development, including quality assurance and inventory control. In 2002 his role was expanded to include oversight of Goya en Espana.
Perez, in the newly created position of s.v.p., will continue his oversight of the purchasing division, Goya's operations in Europe, and will lead marketing, sales, and advertising.
Both executives will work from Goya's offices and facilities in Secaucus, New Jersey.
