Menē Inc. (TSX-V:MENE) (US:MENEF) (“Menē” or the “Company”), an
online 24 karat jewelry brand, today announced that Gavin Johnson
has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Company in place
of Adil Sheikh, effective immediately, following Mr. Sheikh’s
resignation as CFO, a position he has held since 2020, in order to
pursue a new opportunity.
The Company thanks Mr. Sheikh for his years of
dedicated service and wishes him very well in his future endeavours
and would like to further extend a warm welcome to Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson attended the University of Cape Town
where he obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree in Financial
Accounting and Post-Graduate Diploma in Accounting and holds the
designations of Chartered Accountant South Africa and Canadian
Chartered Professional Accountant. He has held senior and
managerial positions at Grant Thornton Cape Incorporated (the South
African member firm of Grant Thornton International
Ltd.), Polyoak Packaging (Pty) Ltd., Deloitte LLP (United Kingdom
and Canada) and Altus Group (Canada). Much of his client engagement
and industry experience includes working with large manufacturing,
engineering consultancy, construction, and SaaS entities.
Statement from Adil Sheikh:
It has been a privilege to have worked alongside
our leadership team and the many talented individuals within the
Company. With Menē well positioned for ongoing success, I feel
confident that now is the right time for me to move on to new
challenges. Over the past few weeks, I have been working to ensure
there is a seamless transition for the incoming CFO. I wish my
successor the very best of luck as he focuses on the next phase of
the company’s development.
Statement from Gavin Johnson:
Menē is providing a unique and exceptional value
proposition to the market. It has grown rapidly from its infancy in
a competitive industry and is positioned to continue its upward
trajectory. I am delighted to be joining a vibrant and energetic
team that has a passion for delivering top-quality products and
customer service. From a finance perspective, my top priority is to
holistically prepare Menē for future growth.
Statement from founder and Chief Executive
Officer, Roy Sebag:
As previously disclosed to shareholders in our
annual results press release, Menē is preparing for an important
transition. In the first years since founding the company, we
focused on developing our business model, testing our thesis about
the potential demand for our disruptive concept, and, perhaps more
importantly, confirming that our economic model was viable. Adil
Sheikh has been an integral part of this initial journey serving as
our CFO during those critical years. I would like to thank Adil for
his years of service as Menē Inc.’s CFO and wish him all the best
in his future endeavours.
A few months ago, Adil notified me of his plan
to leave the company due to personal reasons. At that point, the
Board of Directors initiated a search for his replacement. The
board collectively saw this development as an opportunity to
reflect on where we would like to see Menē in five years and to put
in place the right corporate infrastructure that would allow us to
pursue an ambitious long-term plan that would allow us to scale our
business. We therefore initiated a search for a CFO that could
steer Menē into its next phase of growth.
After carefully considering a series of
candidates, we decided to hire Gavin Johnson for the role. Gavin
has tremendous experience in financial reporting, having worked for
Deloitte LLP in the UK and Canada where he oversaw the audits of
leading listed companies. Most recently, he worked in the financial
reporting group at Altus Group, a TSX listed software company. I am
excited about Gavin’s appointment and believe he will be the first
of a series of incoming senior executives we will be hiring to help
us in realizing our long-term goals.
