Penned by Zefiro Founder and CEO Talal Debs PhD, the Letter from the CEO outlines the beginning of the Company’s journey, dating back to the year 2008 when the carbon trading desk at J.P. Morgan was being established by team members to include Dr. Debs, as well as Zefiro Chief Commercial Officer Tina Reine, and Zefiro Board of Directors member Catherine Flax. Dr. Debs then explained the way in which the carbon markets and the environmental services industry evolved in the years to come, ideally situating the market for Zefiro’s business model. This led to the founding of Zefiro with several key business accomplishments even before the Company had its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in April 2024. Debs also highlights in the letter how he along with other founding team members have invested personal capital into Zefiro during each and every financing round, in addition to purchases of ZEFI shares on the open market, as well as a recent exercise of over 637,000 warrants done by Debs himself.
Just minutes before ZEFI’s common shares began trading on the Cboe Canada Inc. exchange on April 23, 2024, Zefiro Founder and CEO Talal Debs addressed guests of the bell-ringing ceremony in Toronto’s Financial District.
