"We're very fortunate to have Felipe join our Board, bringing important insight and experience in successfully operating Canadian pharmacies. With his valuable insight and guidance, we will look to expand our initial network of 40 pharmacies to hundreds more across Canada. Developing a strong pharmacy program will provide NAC with strong credibility and brand recognition and opportunities to license the business system in international markets, like Germany."
