Renewal2 portfolio company, Elevation Brands is seeking a Vice President of Sales.  Reporting to the CEO of Elevation Brands, details of the position are below.

Position Summary:

Last week I was sitting on a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Vancouver waiting for take-off.  With my carry-on bags neatly stowed under the seat in front of me and none of my reading material within reach, I decided to browse through United’s onboard magazine: Hemisphere.  

After reading a few Houston-based restaurant reviews, I was thrilled to come across this article outlining cutting edge fixes for some of the world’s most challenging environmental issues.

Joel Solomon, Chairman of Renewal2, was quoted in last week's Huffington Post Canada article: “Canadian ‘B Corps’ Put Their Money Where Their Branding Is On Social Causes”.

The article focuses on the process to become a certified “B Corporation” and how that designation “distinguishes firms that are committed to improving more than their bottom line”.

Renewal2 is pleased to announce that our home, the Flack Block, located in Vancouver's historic core in Gastown, has been awarded LEED Gold certification from Canada Green Building Council.
