Endangered Species Chocolate adds to sales force
Mission-driven chocolate company hires western regional sales manager

INDIANAPOLIS – Endangered Species Chocolate has hired Mark Waddell as western regional sales manager responsible for building retail relationships and engaging in the company’s international humanitarian efforts. Waddell’s most recent experience as an international consultant aligns him well to have an immediate impact on Endangered Species Chocolate’s mission to help support species, habitat and humanity.

Prior to joining Endangered Species Chocolate, Waddell initiated and assisted in humanitarian projects in 28 nations by providing relief, sustainable community development and micro development activities. His 25 years of experience as a Navy SEAL, working in developing nations and countries in crisis, ignited his desire to help empower the underserved.

Waddell will play an integral role in reviewing and strengthening Endangered Species Chocolate’s ethical trade practices in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Dominican Republic. His residency in Colorado positions him well to represent the company in transactions on the west coast.
