“In these early stages of standing up the organization, it is critical to have the right people in place to ensure our business practices and policies are sound and that we uphold the highest-level standards in everything we do,” said Kelly. “Equally important is the development of a company culture we can all be proud of and retains the top talent we have on aboard. As CPO and CLO, Janet and Jim will play a monumental role as we grow and evolve.”
