True Nature Holding, Inc. Expands Board, Adding Experienced And Accomplished Healthcare Executive as Board Member and President & COO
Atlanta, GA - (NewMediaWire) - October 3, 2019 - True Nature Holding, Inc. (OTCQB: TNTY) (the
"Company" or "True Nature") announces the appointment of
Ms. Julie R. Smith as a member of its Board of Directors, joining the Company’s
other directors, Mr. Ronald Riewold, with 30 years of healthcare and public
company experience, Mr. Douglas Cole, with 27 years public company experience,
and Mr. James Crone, a 22 year career with advertising and marketing
experience.
Mr. Riewold, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, said, “Julie has the experience in both healthcare and
mergers and acquisitions needed to successfully execute our acquisition
strategy, both domestically and in international markets. She has both private
and public company exposure, especially useful as we consider acquisitions
previously financed using private equity, and now seeking an exit into the
public equities arena. Our international plan starts in Europe, with emerging
market expansion, both geographies where Julie has previous success.”
“Strong industry fundamentals, both
domestically and in Europe, will be foundational to True Nature’s success,”
said Ms. Smith. “Our focus on leveraging technology within a holding company
model will facilitate cross border expansion, and the organization is
positioned to positively impact the pressure points within the healthcare
continuum. Throughout my career I have lead organizations operating in
highly regulated industries through rapid scale and with a focus on quality,
strong financial controls, and have delivered superior returns on equity for
stakeholders. I am excited to join True Nature and support our expansion within
the public equities domain.”
Ms. Smith, age 54, is an experienced Senior
Executive and Board Member who has held multiple leadership positions for both
public and private entities. Most recently she was President and CEO at
HOMEWATCH CARE GIVERS , LLC (www.homewatchcaregivers.com),
a $150 million per year franchise network operating in 7 countries which
provides services within the healthcare continuum. Prior to that
she held senior positions in the educational arena with stints at Lincoln
Education Services (www. lincolnedu.com) and The Princeton Review (www.princetonreview.com).
Julie attained her MBA in International Management from the Thunderbird School
of Global Management and a BA in Business from the University of Denver,
Daniels College of Business. She resides in Denver, Colorado and will
operate from the Company’s new Denver office and will be focused on the
acquisition and integration of new operations and will serve as President &
COO as the expansion plans take hold.
The
Mission of True Nature Holding, Inc.
To leverage new technologies and services to
improve healthcare and outcome for individuals, their families, and their pets.
We believe we can reduce the cost of healthcare while improving the quality of
life using Telehealth and Telemedicine Solutions.
We are building healthcare applications that
focus on patient engagement, care coordination, remote monitoring, data
analytics, and may include Blockchain RX(TM) to provide applications for market
participants in healthcare through the encryption of sensitive data.
Our approach is to develop these business
opportunities as individual "threads" in response to client needs,
ultimately creating an end-to-end set of solutions from the end user up to
the healthcare provider, or veterinary professional. Further, we expect to
assist suppliers to the healthcare industry by allowing them to access unique
technologies that bind them with their clients in a "top-down"
distribution model.
We recognize it will take the investment of
major market participants like Apple, Amazon, IBM, hospitals, healthcare
networks, pharmacy and other providers for us to achieve critical mass. In
consideration of this reality, we expect to work with these market makers in
collaboration, and in support of the ultimate user, the individual, and their
pets. The day of "direct-to-consumer" healthcare, including "the
humanization of our pets" is upon us, and we hope to be key parties to
their evolution, and success.
