This bonus episode of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast, brought to you by The Packer and PMG, features an interview with Mike Browne, chief operating officer of Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce, about the company going public.
Browne discusses the process of going public, the reasoning for making the big move, some of the company's strengths and goals, and what's ahead.
After filing its S-1 document with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier in the month, Mission announced in a news release Sept. 30 that it would offer 8 million shares of its stock at $12 per share.
