Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2023) - Boosh Plant-Based Brands Inc. (CSE: VEGI) (OTCQB: VGGIF) (FSE: 77i) ("Boosh" or the "Company"), a premier plant-based brand in the "better for you" food sector, is pleased to announce that it has engaged Storied Health Partners, a resource-rich platform that provides entrepreneurs the support and leverage they need to maximize their growth potential and accomplish their brand's next milestone.
CEO of Storied Health Partners, Anis Barakat, is a food and beverage expert with nearly a decade of experience in senior leadership roles in the industry. Mr. Barakat is the founder and former President of Revive Superfoods, the first multi-national frozen superfood subscription company selling ready-to-eat/blend meals such as smoothies, oats, soups and lunch/dinner bowls direct-to-consumer throughout the United States, Canada and UAE. During his time with Revive Superfoods, Anis was instrumental in developing a highly scalable direct-to-consumer ("DTC") subscription model that disrupted the ready-meal industry and achieved incredible success since its inception in 2018.
CEO of the Company, Connie Marples, stated: "Essentially, Anis and his team at Storied Health will work with our management team to execute and oversee the operational side of Boosh and Beanfields Brands, including production, logistics and distribution. Additionally, they are very experienced with online marketing and sales and they have demonstrated past successes in the online space, so we anticipate a bump in our DTC sales through their execution, starting in May 2023."
