Jammin Java Corp. Announces Appointment of Additional Directors
LOS ANGELES, February 1, 2011 / / -- Jammin Java Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board:JAMN.ob - News) announced today the appointment of Paola Dooly to its Board of Directors. Ms. Dooly will serve as the company’s Director of Sales. She will be a key executive working closely with the company’s current management to focus on increasing revenues through sales.
Ms. Dooly has over 15 years of sales and marketing experience specifically targeting new brand building on a national level. After joining Tazo Tea in its infancy, she was a key player in driving sales and brand growth over a period of six years. During this time, she personally managed over 48% of the company’s sales until its acquisition by Starbucks Coffee Company. Her second successful brand launch was Mighty Leaf Tea Company, where she was solely responsible for building sales from zero to $2.7 million in less than 2 years. After almost five years at Mighty Leaf Tea, she was hired by Kicking Horse Coffee, the largest Canadian organic coffee company, to introduce their brand and build sales into the US coffee market. Paola has a bachelor’s degree from Bishop’s University in Quebec, Canada, and studied business and economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
“We are extremely happy to bring on board someone with Paola’s credentials,” said Rohan Marley, Chairman of Jammin Java Corp. “In the short time she’s been here, she’s already proven to be an invaluable asset to the company. Launching new brands, creating brand buzz and building awareness, along with rapid and sustainable sales, are not only her specialty but also what she is avidly passionate about. We are confident she will help us to build awareness and sales of the Jammin Java brand as we move ahead.”
