SOLANA BEACH, Calif., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspired Specialty Products Inc., creator of the popular ōku® Conscious EnergyTM gummy snacks, proudly announces the appointment of Ryan F. Zackon as co-chair of its Board of Directors. A seasoned leader in the consumer-packaged goods and health and wellness industries, Zackon joins co-chair Kenneth B.
