FAIRFIELD, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / January 5, 2023 / Bergio International, Inc.

Bergio International, Inc., Thursday, January 5, 2023, Press release picture

It's been about 22 months since Aphrodite's was acquired in a cash and BRGO stock deal to take Bergio International to a new digital level. Since the Aphrodite's deal, Bergio has also acquired Print-On-Demand and SAAS brand Gearbubble. It is looking to grow its holding company with additions of newly acquired talent in the technology and marketing space.

Jonathan Foltz is one of them, former President and Co-Founder of Aphrodite's, who is known for building, growing, and scaling companies quickly - with more than a dozen companies under his belt. He is now looking to take on a new role in the public company and will be stepping down from the helm of Aphrodite's.

He is taking on an advisor role at Aphrodite's and stepping into a new role to create a new research, innovation, apps, and technology division of Bergio International.

Jonathan is passing the temporary President helm to his long-time business partner and co-founder of Aphrodite's, Umer Hadeed. This was an easy choice and natural progression of leadership because of their past in building companies together.

Jonathan Foltz states, "It's been a fun, wild, and experiential journey with Aphrodite's since 2016. After 6 years at the helm of the company, I am ready to step down and follow my passion and inspiration in the app, WEB3, A.I., and exponential technology space. I believe we are at an important crossroads and there is a grand acceleration with technology like we have never seen before, and I can better serve by being at the forefront of this new technology."

He added, "After all the restructuring and vertical integration of Aphrodite's since being acquired, new leadership is required and it will be a big boost after all the new changes that have been applied. I am very thankful for the opportunities, the fun times, and the lessons that came along the way. I wish the best of luck to Aphrodite's team and new management. I will continue to work closely with some of the team members, as they will be part of the new arm of BRGO, and I will continue to advise the company."

After the acquisition, a lot of changes were created to set a new foundation for Aphrodite's to fit into the public company. Vertically integrating to get direct jewelry production, leaning the company in and out, adding new data analytics tools after the IOS14 changes, laying down the proper financial measuring tools, and changing internal shipments to a 3PL company to concentrate on what Aphrodite's does best: Marketing & Product Development.

Umer Hadeed, the new President of Aphrodite's states, "I am both honored and excited to take on the role of President of Aphrodite's. I am grateful to my predecessor, Jonathan Foltz, for his leadership and guidance. I know these are big shoes to fill as we embark on this new chapter, and I would like to reaffirm my commitment to our values and our mission. I am committed to leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation and to serve our customers, employees, and community in the best way possible. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to achieve great things as a team."

Berge Abajian, CEO of Bergio, comments on the new arm and the transition of new leadership for Aphrodite's, "I would like to congratulate Umer Hadeed on taking the position as the President of Aphrodite's. This was an easy decision. Umer has been the Co-Founder and Vice-President since inception and is familiar with all aspects of the company."

He added, "We need to be on the forefront of technology, adding the new arm with the leadership of Jonathan is essential to have the edge in space. Jonathan is a visionary and the perfect candidate to lead the new division."

Bergio International sees the rising tides and is looking to stay ahead of the new changes in technology and is excited to announce the new arm of BRGO. The Bergio team also understands that technology is moving quicker than ever before and is making sure that they are at the forefront of this.

Applications and SAAS will comprise mainly of e-commerce apps and will transition further into Artificial Intelligence, WEB3, Blockchain, and Exponential Technologies.
