As CFO, David will oversee the company’s financial and accounting activities, including long-term strategic growth and investment initiatives to support the company’s ongoing market expansion.

CENTR has quickly established itself as a market leader in the global functional beverage space, as evidenced by its remarkable trajectory over the past year. I am excited to make the move from the Board to the executive team as the company continues to evolve within a dynamic and expanding marketplace.”
