Naturally Splendid chief executive officer Douglas Mason states: "Kevin's extensive food development acumen and manufacturing facility experience will be a significant asset to the company in his roles as lead food scientist and advisory board member. His proven track record in product development and maximizing facility logistics will become increasingly important as we continue to expand operations and product offerings. We are at the crossroads of product innovation and new global market opportunities in the exciting market of hemp foods, cannabis extracts and innovative nutritional bar offerings. The addition of Kevin further solidifies the execution of our corporate strategy as we continue to add new clients and penetrate additional markets.
