Tenacious Labs, a pioneering international consumer products group championing emerging plant-based ingredients, including CBD and Psilocybin, is delighted to announce it has appointed Kendra Mark as its new Director of Product.
Kendra joins Tenacious Labs with industry leading expertise in new product development, significant experience in the CBD and hemp sector, and a passion for health and wellness. Prior to her appointment, Kendra most recently co-founded natureofthings, a wellness brand focusing on natural ingredients, minerals, and elements, including hemp. She has also served as VP of Product Development at Hemp Depot, a specialist hemp wholesaler, and led 2Rise Naturals, a consumer brand specialising in high quality CBD.
In her role at Tenacious Labs, Kendra will be responsible for creating unique and differentiated products across the Group’s portfolio of brands, such as Press Pause and HOO RAA. In addition to this, she will work closely with TL Manufacturing—Tenacious Labs’ wholly-owned production facility based out of Colorado, USA—to launch products in new and emerging categories. This will support the Group’s broader strategic goal of becoming a leading consumer products group globally.
Kendra, who is based in Arizona, joins Tenacious Labs’ predominantly female management team, which includes its Chief Operations Officer, Susie MacArthur; Chief Financial Officer, Sally Hayes; and Head of Lifestyle Brands, Dawn Fable, at the start of its next growth phase. In addition to her role, the Group is also actively hiring for several new roles as it looks to scale up and launch its brands around the world.
Kendra Mark, Director of Product at Tenacious Labs, commented: “I am hugely excited to join Tenacious Labs, a Group which I have admired for some time. Like me, the team have fantastic ambitions to create an industry-leading Group that harnesses the natural power of CBD and other emerging ingredients. I am looking forward to getting stuck in and doing what I love most: creating natural products that support the day-to-day wellbeing of consumers around the world.”
Susie MacArthur, COO of Tenacious Labs, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Kendra to the Group. With considerable industry experience, both in senior leadership and new product development roles, her expertise will be invaluable as we look to scale up, launch our brands around the world, and become a leading consumer products group globally. We believe this is the start of a really exciting period for Tenacious Labs, and we’re pleased to have Kendra join us on our journey.”
