Miami, FL, Jan. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Save Foods (NASDAQ: SVFD) (“Save Foods” or the “Company”), an Israeli Agri-Food Tech company specializing in eco crop protection, today announced its Israeli subsidiary, Save Foods Ltd., has hired Mia Serra as its new Chief Marketing Officer. The addition of a marketing, IR & PR executive comes as Save Foods prepares to ramp up worldwide distribution of its product that dramatically reduces food waste and increases produce shelf life.
Mia brings more than 15 years of marketing experience to Save Foods, where she will be in charge of brand strategy and all marketing communications. She will also be involved in the Company’s investor and public relations programs, providing timely insights into the Company’s progress and sharing important milestone with investors.
Mia has extensive experience in B2C and B2B marketing, most recently as Senior Marketing Manager at MyHeritage and CMO of AgriTech company Tomgrow. She previously held roles at Goldman Sachs and brand and advertising company Hall & Partners in London. Her ability to communicate in English, Spanish, French and Hebrew is a great asset for the Company’s global expansion.
Chief Executive Officer, David Palach, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Mia to the team. She has exactly the balance of skills that can benefit the Company as we scale up our operations worldwide. Her extensive experience in marketing and communications mean she will be well positioned to keep our investors in the loop about important updates, while helping placing the Company prominently on the global stage.”
Ms. Serra added: “I’m excited to get started at Save Foods. The Company has such an important role to play in global food waste reduction, especially with a green product that can be easily switched into the production line. It is inspiring to be part of a team that is making a powerful impact on one of the major problems in the world today – almost 50% of the world's fresh produce goes to waste before it reaches the consumer. Save Foods’ treatment has the potential to change that, on a global scale, safely and cost effectively.”
