HAMILTON, New Zealand, Oct. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (SFIO) has started to embark on its six-month roadshow program across the US through SFIO’s ‘The Global Academy’.

While there, he will be meeting a partner in San Francisco, who has been shortlisted to operate the commissary of Ardent Bakers in the US.

The roadshow program is set to go on until April 2022 with the CEO and Chairman of SFIO, Jeths Lacson, and his team in New Zealand to join in the first quarter of next year.

This is all part of SFIO’s $100M business roadmap to be achieved by 2022. To help reach this target, SFIO confirms the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer, Michael Venezuela, who is also the CEO of Australia-based MLV Group.
