by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
DubLi announced on April 21st that it will not re-elect principal board members, Blas Moros (former Chairman of the Board), Lester Rosenkrantz, and David Sasnett. This comes as a big surprise to the public as these members were not only primary board members and very present in the company’s day-to-day actions, but this move also leaves Michael Hansen, CEO, the sole member.
A reason as to the change has not been disclosed. Everything else at this point would be speculation. This, however, comes on the heels as several top distributors have left the company in recent weeks.
