MONTREAL, Nov. 12, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - GOLO Mobile
Inc. (the "Company" or "GOLO") (TSXV: GOLO), the Montreal‑based
mobile on-demand eco-delivery and pick-up platform, today announced
the appointment of Peter Mazoff as
its new President and CEO, effective November 12, 2019. Mazoff replaces former
President and CEO, Jean-Francois
Noel, who has decided to explore opportunities outside of
the Company.
GOLO, whose common shares began trading on the Canadian TSX
Venture Exchange in July of this year, offers on demand pick-up and
delivery services for food and other everyday goods through its
mobile and web-based "order ahead" platform. GOLO caters to a wide
range of communities such as airports, office towers, condo towers,
hotels, hospitals, and convention centers.
Mazoff, who is also concurrently replacing Mr. Noel as an
executive director on the board of directors of the Company, brings
more than 20 years of leadership experience to the role and a
proven track record of driving growth for both start-up and
established businesses. He was previously President of
Thinking Capital, which he co-founded in 2006. During his 11-year
tenure leading Thinking Capital, Mazoff helped to secure investment
funds for over 15,000 organizations and established Thinking
Capital as Canada's largest,
non-bank lender to small businesses. Prior to Thinking Capital,
Mazoff headed up marketing for Progressive Gourmet, a US-based food
manufacturer, where he was instrumental in driving double digit
growth in both revenues and net income. Much of Peter's career
before that was dedicated to developing strategic pricing models
and leveraging data analysis to solve large, complex problems.
ⁱ
Brahm Gelfand, Chairman of the
board of directors of GOLO, commented: "Having listed on the TSX
Venture Exchange earlier in the year, GOLO is at a pivotal point in
its growth journey and ideally placed to exploit the enormous
potential of the order ahead delivery sector in Canada and beyond. We're confident that
Peter's highly customer-centric approach and operational flair,
combined with his proven track record of driving strong results,
will play a crucial role accelerating the business along that
critical growth path. We're delighted to have him on
board."
Mazoff added: "I am really looking forward to being part of this
pioneering and highly dynamic business at such an exciting time in
its history. GOLO's mission is to make everyday life better and I'm
confident there are so many opportunities we can pursue in the
mobile on-demand delivery and pick-up space that will help us to
deliver against this promise. I can't wait to meet the team and get
started."
Mr Gelfand added: "Jean-Francois is a true entrepreneur and has
developed this business from start-up status to a highly reputable
player in the communities it serves. He has also instilled a
culture of innovation across the team that will stand them in good
stead for the future. We would like to thank him for his tremendous
contribution to the development of GOLO since inception."
