Delivra Health Brands Inc. (TSX-V:DHB, OTCQB:DHBUF, FRA:3F0) said on Friday it has appointed John Barrett as a director, adding a former senior executive from major consumer goods companies as the health and wellness products maker looks to its next phase of growth.
Barrett previously held senior roles at Frito-Lay and PepsiCo and served as chief commercial officer for Pernod Ricard USA. He is currently owner and principal consultant at Kites Advisors, a boutique firm that works with early-stage consumer goods companies on strategy across the value chain.
Delivra said Barrett brings North American and international experience in consumer packaged goods, including leadership in innovation, marketing, go-to-market strategies and major customer acquisition, as well as profit-and-loss management responsibility exceeding $1 billion.
“His deep experience in strategy and consumer packaged goods will be instrumental as we enter our next stage of growth,” executive chair Frank Holler said in a statement, adding that Barrett brings a disciplined, long-term perspective to the board.
The company also said board member Andrew Bayfield has resigned. Holler thanked Bayfield for his contributions over the past five years.
