transformative period of commercial expansion and 54 per cent
record revenue growth, rooted in a solid system of financial
discipline and controls established by Beth as our CFO. We
appreciate her leadership and contributions throughout this
milestone year, and we thank her for welcoming Vaani to our team
and assisting in her transition as we move into a period of
sustainable growth and financial stability,” said George Scorsis,
CEO and Executive Chair, Entourage. “Vaani is a seasoned and
inspiring leader that brings a drive for execution and top-line
performance. Her extensive experience in leading cross-functional
teams will be integral to our success going forward as we establish
new commercial growth targets to drive further revenue growth and
build greater shareholder value.”
