Virginia Business// August 29, 2022//
In March, Boyle celebrated the official dedication of the Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA distribution center in Suffolk.
Located at Virginia Port Logistics Park, the expansive warehouse complex — which could fit four football fields under one roof — became operational in November 2021. Due to the pandemic, the company waited until spring to host its ribbon-cutting celebration, which was attended by Massimo Zanetti himself, the Italian company’s namesake chairman and CEO.
Since 2016, Boyle has served as president and CEO of the company’s U.S. arm, which imports coffee beans through the Port of Virginia and transports them to its manufacturing plant in Suffolk for roasting and grinding before packaging the coffee as brands including Chock full o’Nuts, Kauai Coffee and Segafredo Zanetti.
Before beginning his tenure at Zanetti in 2006 as the company’s chief operating officer and senior vice president of sales and marketing, Boyle worked in leadership positions at Sara Lee Coffee & Tea, Nestlé USA and California agricultural cooperative Tri Valley Growers.
A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Boyle sits on the board of the National Coffee Association.
