ABOUT SPERRI

Sperri is redefining nutrition in Canada. As the country's first organic, plant-based meal replacement, Sperri delivers complete, balanced nutrition in a simple, great-tasting beverage; designed for those who need nourishment without compromise. Sperri was created through the collaboration of Dr. Mary Lynch, a physician and pain specialist based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, along with the team at Novagevity. Dr. Lynch noticed that many of her patients required meal replacements for proper nutrition but struggled to tolerate existing options due to high levels of processed sugars, milk, and soy proteins. Unable to find a suitable product in the Canadian market, Dr. Lynch approached Gregg Curwin, an experienced entrepreneur, and together they embarked on the development of Sperri.

What began as a solution for patients has grown into a purpose-driven company with a national footprint and bold plans for the future. As we scale to meet demand, we're looking for a finance and operations leader to help guide Sperri's next stage of growth.

• Support strong governance through clear financial reporting to the Board and external stakeholders
• Develop scalable processes that improve operational efficiency and mitigate risk
