Truly Nolen manager trainee becomes commercial sales manager

TUCSON, Ariz.-based Truly Nolen announced the promotion of Jack Cavender to Commercial Sales Manager of the company’s South Florida, Treasure Coast and Southwest Florida service offices.

Cavender joined Truly Nolen in December 2023 as a Manager-in-Training at the company’s Fort Myers service office. Before joining the company, he worked for 32 years in the adult beverage industry, holding roles from Sales to Director of Sales and ultimately Vice President of Sales. During that time, Cavender worked with several beverage companies in a variety of leadership capacities.

Cavender retired for about one year following his time in the adult beverage industry, but ultimately decided he was missing the professional challenges and the camaraderie of team leadership, which is what led him to Truly Nolen.

Cavender said, “I’m thrilled to join this incredible commercial team and leverage my background and experience to help drive the growth of our commercial business together. Building strong, successful sales teams has always been a passion of mine, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve as part of this outstanding organization. My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is that everyone is committed to helping and supporting each other’s success. Here, it’s all about the team—not the individual.”

Verne Keller, Florida commercial division manager, says, “Jack has consistently brought the same drive, discipline, and leadership that defined his previous career to our team,” said Verne Keller, Florida Commercial Division Manager. His commitment to excellence, proven relationship-building skills, and supporting team growth made him the perfect choice to lead our commercial sales efforts in South Florida”
