“We are very pleased to welcome Kevin to our team at Isodiol,” said Marcos Agramont, CEO of Isodiol. “The Company has made a number of hard choices in the restructuring of its business model and staffing in recent months to embrace its core competencies, exit non-performing operations, divest non-performing assets, and adapt to a rapidly developing industry.
