TORONTO, Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX:VHI) (OTCQX:VHIBF) is pleased to announce that Francis Shen has been appointed as the Chairman of the Board, succeeding Chris Schnarr who will be departing December 31, 2023.

Francis Shen serves as the President of Shen Capital Partners Inc., a specialized technology investment firm. Previously, he was the founder, Chairman, and Co-CEO of Aastra Technologies Ltd., a publicly traded enterprise communications business until its eventual sale to Mitel Networks Corporation in 2014. Through its 18 years as a publicly traded company, Aastra grew from $5 million to over $700 million of revenue. Its growth was driven primarily through an aggressive global acquisition strategy and operational execution. During its time as a public company Aastra raised $76 million and returned over $700 million to shareholders. Recognized as Ontario's Entrepreneur of the Year in Technology & Communications by Ernst & Young in 2000, Mr. Shen holds both a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Applied Science from the University of Toronto.

Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub, extends his deepest gratitude to departing Chairman Chris Schnarr for his invaluable insights and leadership. "Chris has played a pivotal role in elevating our company to a top-tier organization geared for strong and sustained growth. As we embark on a new chapter in VitalHub's journey, we are excited to welcome Francis into the enhanced role as Chairman. Our enduring partnership, which commenced in 2019, has demonstrated significant success, underscored by a strong alignment with our ongoing growth strategy. Francis's deep knowledge of the capital markets, a history of prosperous M&A endeavors, and success in scaling a successful technology business make him exceptionally well-suited for this role."
