DOVER, DE / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2024 / International Star Inc. (OTC PINK:ILST) (the "Company" or "ILST") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Robert Klein as the new CEO of ILST, replacing Mr. Todd Masse, who has served as CEO since April 2024. Mr. Masse has chosen to pursue pastures anew, and we thank him for his work, consulting, and direction in helping ILST complete certain milestones that were key to the company.

Mr. Klein was one of the founders of Budding Equity and is a seasoned entrepreneur who currently has ties to various family offices in Canada and the USA. He is poised to take International Star Inc. through the next growth period as ILST looks to working with additional Celebrities and expand product offerings in new states.

Mr. Klein has been in touch with new promising opportunities for our current celebrities and new points of contact to grow our product offering profile. "It makes the most sense for me to lead ILST and its wholly owned subsidiary, Budding Equity, through the next development phase, and I am looking forward to this opportunity," said Mr. Klein. "Also, as we anticipate the rescheduling of cannabis, we're on the brink of an unprecedented era for the industry. This potential regulatory shift will unlock new opportunities for growth, investment, and innovation across the cannabis sector, positioning International Star Inc. to expand our offerings, reach new markets, and drive significant value for our stakeholders.

I also want to thank Mr. Masse for his involvement and expertise and wish him all the best in his next venture."

"Working with ILST, getting them to this point, and handing off the company to the good hands of Mr. Klein gives me confidence in their future while I pursue other projects. I look forward to maintaining an open relationship with ILST and their team", said Mr. Masse.

In the near term, we look forward to appointing additional C-suite management to navigate the growth of ILST as we embark on new opportunities, work with new celebrities, and grow the business.
