Juul Labs Inc. has today announced the appointment of Melissa Wisdom as its new Managing Director.

The appointment comes as the Company continues to drive its mission to transition the world’s 1 billion adult smokers away from cigarettes, eliminate their use, and combat underage usage of its products.

Melissa brings a wealth of experience operating in highly regulated industries. Most recently serving as Chief Commercial Officer at Stonegate Group, Melissa expanded her remit from sales and marketing to encompass a broad commercial role and was instrumental in navigating complex commercial challenges in the UK hospitality sector.

Previously, she served as Commercial Director for the on-trade at Diageo, as well as holding other senior positions at prominent national and global brands.

In her new role, Melissa will oversee all of Juul Labs Inc.’s current and future UK commercial activities, in addition to leveraging her talents in international markets, as the company seeks to bring its next-generation product technology – which has been proven to help smokers move away from cigarettes – to more parts of the world.

Commenting on her appointment, Melissa Wisdom said:

“Joining Juul Labs as its new Managing Director is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the company’s bold vision for the future – one where long-term success is achieved through responsible innovation and investment in high-quality, scientifically-supported products.

“I look forward to advancing Juul’s commercial objectives across this rapidly changing industry to ensure we are delivering the best possible alternatives for adult smokers, whilst taking serious action to prevent underage access to and appeal of our products.”

Juul Labs Inc. CEO, KC Crosthwaite welcomed Melissa, saying:

“We are thrilled to welcome Melissa Wisdom as Juul Labs’ new Managing Director. Melissa’s extensive commercial experience and her commitment to responsible growth in consumer markets make her an invaluable addition to the team.

“With new UK legislation coming down the track and the regulatory environment evolving in many markets, Melissa’s leadership will play a pivotal role in advancing our efforts to drive tobacco harm reduction by offering adult smokers high-quality product technology designed specifically to help them move away from traditional cigarettes.

“I am confident that Melissa will be a huge asset at this exciting time of opportunity for the company.”
