The Vancouver-based company said Lelovic brings two decades of experience building public companies across diverse industries from Silicon Valley technology companies to the energy sector in the Canadian Oil Fields and the Financial District of Toronto.
During his time as a senior manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Lelovic gained extensive experience in the preparation and review of financial disclosures for publicly traded companies, as well as the implementation of corporate governance practices and regulatory reporting including prospectuses, both for OSC and SEC clients.
He monitored a wide variety of engagements including, budget reviews, audits, initial public offerings, due diligence, and special reporting such as IFRS diagnostics and the preparation of white papers, GAAP reconciliations and internal control reports, the company added.
“I’m excited to join the talented and hardworking RYU team,” said Lelovic.
“Being a fan of the brand and user of their fantastic products, I am excited to have an opportunity to support the advancement of strategic growth plans, while executing on the financial reporting and control environment that empowers the leadership team to keep doing what they are best at.”
