Award-winning beverage company completes leadership team with new executive appointments

TORONTO, May 03, 2018 -- A global finance executive and an accomplished Fortune 500 marketing leader have joined Hill Street Beverage Co. as investors’ interest in the company deepens.

The addition of Chief Financial Officer, Hinta Chambers, and Chief Marketing Officer, David Pullara, positions Hill Street to continue securing investment toward the company’s continued production of award-winning alcohol-free beers and wines and the introduction of their cannabis-infused beverages, immediately following regulatory approval.
  
Chambers brings to Hill Street more than 20 years of finance experience with companies based in Canada, England and France. Her portfolio of work includes the management of multi-million dollar budgets, corporate buyouts, debt financing, patent licensing and legal compliance.

Pullara is a seasoned marketing leader with experience in developing strategy, building brands and driving innovation for consumer-focused companies such as Starbucks, Yum! Brands (Pizza Hut), Coca-Cola and Google.

Hill Street CEO, Terry Donnelly, believes Chambers and Pullara are uniquely qualified to support the company in introducing its first cannabis-infused beverages while also making its portfolio of alcohol-free beers and wines available in over 7,000 stores across Canada. Hill Street’s products are currently available online and at Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws, Sobeys, Zehrs, Fortinos and many independent grocery stores across Canada.

“Hinta’s and David’s combined expertise rounds out Hill Street’s executive team optimally,” Donnelly said.

“I’m confident that together we will continue building a world class brand that answers increasing consumer demand for great-tasting and healthy beverages.”
