“Since joining, Rich has quickly become involved in all areas of the company. I believe that ParcelPal is in great hands to move to the next stage of its development.

Throughout his career, he has also held positions at Fortune 30 companies, including Johnson and Johnson, Cardinal Health, and Citigroup.
Rich stated that he feels energised by the opportunity to lead ParcelPal during a pivotal time for the industry.
“People are increasingly utilising in-home delivery services for their needs, especially as it’s been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for a quality last mile delivery service is greater than ever.
“We are well positioned to accomplish these and other positive goals, with a scalable model, and the experience to execute this plan,” he concluded.
ParcelPal Technology’s (PKG) share price remains steady, and is trading for 8.5 cents per share as of 1:06pm EST.
