STRONGBOW APPOINTS NEW DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2013) - Strongbow Resources Inc. ("Strongbow" or the "Company") (OTCQB: STBR), is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Robert Madzej as Chief Operating Officer and a director and Mr. Robert Da Cunha as Chief Financial Officer and a director.
Mr. Robert Madzej graduated from Simon Fraser University in Business Administration. He has over 10 years' experience of well-versed business development and corporate financial strategies. His experience encompasses managing his own business, handling day to day operations and working with financial institutions by identifying and facilitating essential financing to support business clients' needs. He has gained invaluable experience in business structuring and economic decision-making and believes in team cohesiveness to achieve operational excellence.
Mr. Madzej's passion has been building relationships and building on people's strengths, communication and understanding, which he relies on in developing and managing operational integrity.
As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Da Cunha's prime function is to oversee the financial activities of the Company. Mr. Da Cunha brings great experience in financial planning, monitoring cash flows and analytical skills to enhance company performance.
Prior to joining Strongbow, Mr. Da Cunha has been on the board of directors of other business corporations and spent more than a decade at TD Canada Trust, in increasingly senior positions where he acquired specific expertise in a number of critical areas including growth and credit lending for small to medium size enterprises, audits and compliance.
The experience at TD Canada Trust provided Mr. Da Cunha with first-hand knowledge of what really matters to operations, communications, and protocol when overseeing successful ventures. He understands the importance of attention to detail, especially in areas where documents are reviewed by government agencies and by accountants working for shareholders and investors.
Prior to his career in resources and finance, Mr. Da Cunha briefly held positions at both the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General and the University of Toronto. At the University of Toronto, he specialized in neurobiology -- specifically in molecular protein isolation, electrophoresis SDS-PAGE western blotting -- while working on this thesis.
"Bringing on board such highly skilled individuals will help achieve our goals in making Strongbow a great success, which will definitely make a difference in the growth stages of our company. I'm excited to have them part of our team," stated Mr. Caetano, President and Chief Executive Officer.
