Soulfresh has appointed Michael Davies as Chief Marketing Officer. He has been tasked with “crafting and spearheading” the company’s international growth.
Mr Davies joins Soulfresh from Mars, where he held roles as Marketing Director UK, then Director of Mars Wrigley M&A and Ventures based out of Chicago.
According to Soulfresh, Mr Davies’ global perspective and deep brand building experience will be instrumental as the company continues a path of global expansion throughout Europe and Asia Pacific.
Mr Davies says Soulfresh’s incredible success is being fuelled by great brands that are genuinely changing the way consumers eat and drink for the better.
“Soulfresh is not a company,” he says. “It’s a movement and the opportunity to join such a talented and inspiring group of people is very exciting.”
