Ivan De La Torre

Ivan first brought his eagle eye for detail to Food Forward to ensure our Pit-Stop site in Bell stayed in peak condition. With a career rooted in high-stakes operations—including over a decade managing critical data centers and GMP-regulated environments—Ivan knows exactly what it takes to keep a facility running with 95% audit-ready precision.

At Food Forward, he applies that same rigor to our mission, ensuring the Pit Stop is a safe, spotless home for the thousands of pounds of produce we rescue daily to fight hunger. When he isn’t patrolling the halls to keep our Fruitopians safe and organized, Ivan is likely hitting the open road on his motorcycle. A dedicated family man at heart, he finds his greatest joy in spending quality time with his grandson and supporting his elderly parents. He is proud to play his part in the produce revolution!
