The COO Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by this reference.
Mr. Meza, 41, has an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering and started his professional career at Georgia Pacific working as a process engineer at a paper mill. After working to gain direct hands-on chemical manufacturing expertise throughout the processing plant, he was promoted to a shift team leader. To further enhance his management and leadership skills, he attended the Harvard Business School. After receiving his MBA, he worked for Apple as a global supply manager focusing on commissioning and scaling up of manufacturing facilities across Asia and the implementation of cost efficiencies throughout their supply chain.
After four years optimizing high-volume manufacturing at Apple, Mr. Meza worked for the management consultancy firm McKinsey and Company as an engagement manager. In this role, he analyzed the manufacturing operations of global corporations and developed strategic assessments for executives to implement operational efficiencies in their facilities and business units. Mr. Meza subsequently joined the private equity firm Transom Capital as the Vice President of Operations working with a suite of portfolio companies in which the firm had invested. At Transom Capital, Mr. Meza used his extensive expertise in operational leadership and manufacturing to establish the required procedures and frameworks to help grow these early-stage companies into mature and stable corporations.
