On June 14, 2012, Stevia Nutra Corp. (the “Company”) appointed Dr. Hilary A. Rodrigues as chief executive officer of the Company.
Dr. Hilary A. Rodrigues
A successful entrepreneur and passionate advocate for healthy living, Dr. Rodrigues’ career is the result of years of volunteer service combined with savvy business acumen.
Dr. Rodrigues has served not only his local, but the international community in many capacities. As both a mayor and deputy mayor of his municipality, an International Red Cross delegate, a member of the Canadian Agri-Foods Marketing Council and past chairman of the food and beverage committee of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, Newfoundland and Labrador branch, Dr. Rodrigues has demonstrated an astute capacity to build bridges across many different forums. His appointment to the Premier’s Committee, “Social Strategic Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador” in 2002 is a case in point for Dr. Rodrigues’ wide sphere of influence.
He studied dentistry at the University of London, England in 1969 and was appointed a lecturer at the Royal Dental Hospital. Dr. Rodigues began his career as a rural dentist in Whitbourne, Newfoundland in 1974.
In 1993, he founded the Rodrigues Winery, Newfoundland and Labrador’s first commercial winery and quickly developed an extensive network of contacts in the food and beverage industry in North America.
Late in 2011, Dr. Rodrigues expanded into the health food market founding Sedna Nutraceuticals Inc. a company that specializes in research and development of nutraceutical products for the production of nutrients, such as vitamin supplements.
We appointed Dr. Hilary A. Rodrigues as the Company’s chief executive officer because of his extensive network of contacts in the food and beverage industry in North America.
There have been no other transactions since the beginning of its last fiscal year or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Registrant was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which Mr. Rodrigues had or will have a direct or indirect material interest which would be required to be reported herein. There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.
