Jan 5, 2021 | Press Releases

Vancouver, B.C., January 5th. 2021 – SOLARVEST BIOENERGY INC. (TSXV:SVS.VN) (“Solarvest” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the addition of Greg Drohan to its Board of Directors. Mr. Drohan will join the Board in early 2021.

Mr. Drohan was the past President of Carter-Horner prior to its acquisition by Church & Dwight. He then became President of Church & Dwight Canada Corp for 12 years. As President he successfully merged the Church & Dwight and Carter-Horner businesses to form a larger more profitable business entity, which more than doubled the sales revenue of the company and achieved #1 market share on brands such as Trojans, Oxi Clean, First Response, Rub A535, Arm & Hammer. Mr. Drohan also oversaw the company’s Vitafusion and L’il Critter gummy nutraceutical line of products.

Gerri Greenham, President and CEO of Solarvest says, “Greg has agreed to participate on the Board as well as taking an active role in the commercialization of our Omega-3 line of products. His experience in sales and marketing of national brands will be invaluable as well as his knowledge of the nutraceutical marketplace through Church & Dwight’s line of products which will help steer our marketing plans.” Greg previously served as a Director at Tetra Bio Pharma and on the Alumni Relations Board of Ryerson University. He earned a Bachelor of Business Management degree at Ryerson and holds a Masters Business Administration from York University, Schulich School of Business.

As of December 30th Michael O’Brien has resigned from the Board after a long term where he led the audit committee and was invaluable in actively interfacing with Governmental Financing Departments. He was a great supporter and we wish him well in his retirement.
