ElleVet Sciences Announces Promotion of Haley Israelson to Chief Executive Officer

ElleVet Sciences, the first company to prove the safety and efficacy of its hemp-based CBD + CBDA products for pets, is promoting Haley Israelson to chief executive officer.

Israelson, ElleVet’s current chief financial officer, will assume the role of CEO on January 1, 2025. Having joined ElleVet as head of finance in 2019, Israelson has been instrumental in fueling and managing the exponential growth of the company. In her tenure at ElleVet Sciences, Israelson has managed many functions in addition to finance, including e-commerce and operations (production, order fulfillment and supply chain).

“I am honored to become the CEO of ElleVet Sciences, an amazing company and a pioneer in the field of science-backed nutraceuticals for pets. Central to ElleVet’s DNA is our science first approach, our promise to provide outstanding customer experiences, and our commitment to always doing what is right. These core elements provide an impactful framework for all decision making, and I look forward to continuing to live by, and lead with, these company values,” said Israelson.

“ElleVet Sciences’ Board of Directors has conducted a year-long search for our next CEO to help develop ElleVet to its full potential. We could not be more pleased with this outcome. Haley has a deep understanding of all aspects of the business and is a highly valued member of our team. ElleVet has invested significantly in scientific research with over 40 clinical studies and R&D projects completed or underway, including recent advancements in feline and equine health that we look forward to sharing in early 2025. I see no better candidate than Haley to execute on the amazing opportunities on the horizon and I look forward to continuing to support the company as a member of the board,” said Christian Kjaer, ElleVet Sciences co-founder, chair and CEO.

Within a few years, ElleVet has created a strong brand in the veterinary field and has grown to become a brand both veterinarians and pet owners associate with outstanding quality and results due to their science-first approach. This level of scientific rigor, above and beyond for a nutraceutical company, has led ElleVet to become the biggest supplier of hemp-based products for pets. ElleVet products are carried in thousands of veterinary clinics nationwide.

Prior to joining ElleVet Sciences, Israelson served as a finance and investment professional in the venture capital and private equity space, where she worked with numerous high growth companies. Haley is a Certified Public Accountant in the state of Maine. She earned her MBA and BS in Accounting from Husson University.
