Canavation Product Group Hires Jeffrey Korentur
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canavation Product Group, Inc. (Canavation) announced today that they have hired Jeffrey Korentur as the new Chief Business Licensing Officer (CBLO). This newly formed position was created to capitalize on Canavation's patented conversion technology (Patent # US7399872B2) for converting hemp derived CBD into traditional delta 9 (Δ9) THC and a rare Δ8THC, to qualified worldwide license partners.
Δ8THC is a difficult to produce cannabinoid that has similar but also unique and enhanced medicinal benefits when compared to Δ9THC, as well as being considerably less psychotropic. This patented technology provides Canavation and its license partners a significant market advantage for Δ8THC in that the cost to produce Δ8THC otherwise is significantly greater.
Jeffrey Korentur comes to Canavation from Teewinot Life Sciences (Teewinot) where he was a co-founder and served as Teewinot's inaugural president and CEO. Jeffrey Korentur has more than 25 years of leadership experience in both the private sector and government service. This includes serving as president of KKAD Holdings, a multi-family office, and a leadership role at the Defense Information Systems Agency, nearly ten years in the US Army.
"The decision to license versus operate our patented conversion technology allows Canavation to focus our resources on our core strength as consumer product development and marketing company," said Bill Barlow, CEO of Canavation. "This strategic position and hire of Jeffrey Korentur also helps to position Canavation as a global leader and provider of rare cannabinoids. We are pleased to have Jeffrey join the team."
