“I am grateful to the Board of Directors for promoting me from president to CEO and I will work even harder to create value for shareholder and stakeholders alike,” Gafour said
CULT Food Science Corp said Lejjy Gafour has been promoted to the role of chief executive officer effective April 20, 2022, following the transitioning of former CEO Dorian Banks from the role.
“I am grateful to the Board of Directors for promoting me from president to CEO and I will work even harder to create value for shareholder and stakeholders alike,” Gafour said in a statement. “The company continues to lay an impressive cell-ag foundation and I look forward to cultivating that further.”
Gafour, who was previously president of the company, joined CULT in January 2022 after accumulating 15 years of experience in executing strategy, technology and product development across mature and emerging industries.
“I would like to thank Dorian for making it easy for me to join CULT as president earlier this year and for transitioning the role of CEO to me so seamlessly. I look forward to receiving his continued guidance as an independent member of the company’s Board of Directors as we work toward executing on our mission of building a complete cellular agriculture ecosystem,” he added.
