FSD’s recently appointed Advisory Board members, Kevin Harrington and Gerry David, who cumulatively have generated billions of dollars of sales and value for brands and shareholders, will be actively involved in Celly Nu, overseeing all operations, including marketing, with Mr. David taking the position of Chairman.
Gerry David is best known for his five-year tenure as CEO at zero-calorie fitness drink maker Celsius Holdings, Inc. where he spearheaded a turnaround that resulted in a global sales explosion, influx of capital from notable strategic investors, and a rise in market capitalization that increased shareholder value 35-fold by exceeding $9 billion.
