The company is led by CEO and Director Charles Jobson, the founder and former Portfolio Manager of global equity hedge fund Delta Partners. The company plans to target the global health and wellness industry, focusing on branded food, beverage, and consumer products in the better-for-you or sustainability-focused market sectors, as well as companies supporting the consumer shift towards health and wellness through innovative platforms or technologies.
