McHutchison adds 2 data specialists to support digital initiatives

McHutchison has added two data professionals to support its technology and data management initiatives across North American greenhouse and nursery markets. 

Aidan Blanco joined the company as software developer and will lead the North America PowerBI initiative as his first project. His background includes software development, business intelligence and artificial intelligence technologies. Blanco earned a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Old Dominion University and is based in Chesapeake, Virginia. 

Taylor Gentry was named business data integration specialist. In the role, she will focus on data governance, ERP management, system transitions and vendor catalog accuracy. Before joining McHutchison full time, Gentry worked with several company teams as a contractor. She is based in Boise, Idaho. 

“The addition of Taylor and Aidan to our expanding data team allows us to stay on the forefront when it comes to information accuracy and support,” Ken Turrentine, president of McHutchison, said. “Their technical experience and knowledge base will help us to better serve our customers, business partners and the horticultural industry.” 

The company said the additions are intended to strengthen its data infrastructure and support ongoing digital capabilities.
