Non-Executive Director. She brings a very broad background in marketing, operations, and executive 
management in both B2B and B2C contexts. We are looking forward to working with her as we 
continue to expand our sales across our existing product lines and bring new, sustainable products to 
market based on our plant-based ingredient platform.

I want to especially thank Bryan for his many years of dedicated service to the Company, and for the 
depth of experience, thoughtfulness, and good judgement he has brought to our Board. We are 
grateful for his many contributions to Itaconix over the years."
