A highly regarded industry veteran, Ms. Jorge brings nearly 30 years of experience in agricultural markets, commodity trading, and operational leadership. She most recently served as Brazil Country Head and Vice President/Grains Business Head Latin America for Olam Agri, where she managed a $1.0 billion annual revenue portfolio. Prior to Olam, she held leadership roles at Cargill Agricola South America exporting over 7 million metric tons of grain exports annually as well as leadership positions at J. Macedo. Ms. Jorge has a proven track record of scaling global agricultural businesses and driving operational excellence.

"Catia's deep expertise in global agriculture markets, her leadership acumen and her strategic vision make her the perfect fit to lead Sadot through its next stage of expansion," said Kevin Mohan, Chairman of the Board.

Our focus is clear: aggressively execute our multi-pronged growth strategy to drive significant increases in revenue and profitability along with streamlining operations to unlock the full potential of this company."

Ms. Jorge succeeds Michael Roper, who will transition into a new leadership position as Chief Governance & Compliance Officer overseeing the Company's regulatory and capital market requirements. Mr. Roper will also continue to lead the previously announced initiative to divest the Company's remaining restaurant operations.

Mr. Roper added, "I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished during my time as CEO. We've positioned the Company as a highly competitive and nimble player in the global food supply chain, and now is the perfect time to bring in an industry veteran like Catia to lead the next stage of growth. I look forward to supporting her and the entire team in this transition as we push Sadot to new heights."
