operational teams while providing key strategic support for our
M&A and capital markets strategies as we move forward.”
“On behalf of the board of directors and all the staff at Ackroo
I want to thank Derek for his contributions to Ackroo. Derek joined
us at a very turbulent time in the Company and has played a very
key role in helping to guide us to where we are today. We
appreciate all of his hard work, dedication and support throughout
his tenure. We wish Derek all the best in his future
endeavors.”
“I am thrilled to be joining Ackroo,” said Paul Hart. “Ackroo’s
senior executive leadership team and shareholder support is
excellent. I look forward to working with them to grow the business
profitably, explore new opportunities and position Ackroo as a
leader in the digital marketing, payments and point-of-sale
marketplace.”
"It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside Steve, the
board and the fantastic team at Ackroo for the past 6 years,” said
