He has been crucial in creating the solid infrastructure for the fast-growing company we are building today," said Mike James, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Inergetics. "Not only has Jim widened the reach of our products through enhanced national and international distribution agreements, but he has helped develop a vision for our company as a whole while driving daily operations to support that vision."

"I'm looking forward to Inergetics' bright future, and continuing to build on the success we have seen so far," said Kras. "Mike has put together a world-class team of the most talented people in the industry, and everyone has worked together to deliver a family of innovative products of the highest quality. We are continuing to roll out exciting new initiatives like the line of CBD-based nutritional supplements we are developing with Terra Tech – all of which help consumers improve their health and quality of life."

Prior to joining Inergetics, Kras worked at NBTY where his brand management team nearly doubled division sales in three years to more than $200 million. He was previously Director of Marketing at Ajinomoto USA, a $14 billion pharmaceutical company, where he built the U.S. consumer marketing department and launched the company's e-commerce efforts.
