Iced Tea
ORLANDO, FL.
-- October 25, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Elev8 Brands,
Inc. (OTCQB:
VATE), a holding company focused on the commercial development
of hemp and CBD-based products including hemp coffee, hemp tea,
hemp Cold Brew, CBD salve, CBD Lotions and CBD Tinctures that
target the health and wellness markets, is pleased to announce the
expansion of its sales team with the hiring of new sales
representative, Chris Risi.
Chris Risi,
Irvine, California, is a seasoned sales professional with over
three decades of experience in the retail and restaurant industries
with a focus on building strong teams to execute operation’s
excellence throughout major organizations resulting in brand
strength and sales growth. Some of these brands included
Pepsi, J.C. Penney and Taco Bell (YUM Brands). Throughout his
30+ years in these industries, Chris played key roles in launching
breakfast, innovative Pepsi beverages, desserts, and national
promotions (MLB & BCS) for the Taco Bell brand supporting over
6,000+ franchise and company restaurants throughout the U.S. as
well as developing teams to grow retail sales.
Chief
Executive Officer Ryan Medico stated, “We are excited that Mr. Risi
has joined our team. His vast industry experiences will be a
tremendous asset to Elev8 Brands in continuing to expand our brand
nationally, with a focus on ready-to-drink CBD
beverages.”
Beverages bring an
opportunity for businesses to build sales layers. Chris led
the testing and implementation of the first frozen beverage sales
layer for Taco Bell along with other proprietary ideas in
partnership with Pepsi/Taco Bell. He ensured that all
beverages, including Iced Tea, juices and fountain drinks, were
successfully executed by the managers in every company and
franchise restaurant. During his 20 years with Taco Bell, Corp.,
Chris worked directly with Pepsi in improving beverage products and
sales by launching the first ever frozen beverage platform,
proprietary carbonated beverages and iced teas and
juices.
Chris is already
showing a promising start as he is in negotiations with
distributors as well as a grocery store chain in
California.
Elev8 Hemp
continues testing and formulating its CBD ready-to-drink coffee and
is very excited to announce expansion into CBD Iced Tea as well.
The Company has been recently working on formulations for an all
new bottled CBD Iced Tea line to expand its market share in the
ready-to-drink market. Medico concluded, “We
couldn’t have added Mr. Risi to the team at a better time. We are
so ecstatic to bring our new CBD beverages to market and now we
have the team to do so. The ready to drink market is huge right now
and Elev8 Hemp will be a big part of it in the CBD
market.”
