Nightfood Holdings Appoints Proven Operators to Accelerate Public Company Growth and Hospitality Innovation
New executive leadership combines decades of expertise in capital markets, supply chain logistics, real estate, and hotel automation to drive Nightfood's next phase of expansion
TARRYTOWN, N.Y., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Nightfood Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), an emerging leader in AI-driven hospitality automation and real estate-backed hotel operations, today announced the appointment of Jimmy Chan as Chief Executive Officer and Ried Floco as President and Director.
These leadership transitions mark a pivotal moment in Nightfood's evolution, aligning the company with two seasoned executives whose combined experience in scaling businesses, leveraging automation, and operating in public market environments will drive long-term shareholder value and disciplined growth.
Jimmy Chan brings more than 20 years of entrepreneurial and capital markets expertise across industries including real estate, international trade, healthcare, and hospitality supply. As the founder of CarryOutSupplies.com, he scaled one of the largest custom-printed foodservice packaging providers in North America, serving thousands of hotels and restaurants. Mr. Chan is a recognized leader in operational optimization, vertical integration, and supply chain innovation. His experience in taking companies public, executing M&A transactions, and restructuring businesses for long-term value creation will support Nightfood's corporate development, capital markets strategy, and execution as a high-growth public enterprise.
Ried Floco, with over three decades of executive leadership across the hospitality sector, has overseen the performance of more than 200 hotel properties and $3 billion in asset valuations. He has led operations across top-tier brands such as Marriott, Hilton, Intercontinental, and Starwood Hotels. Mr. Floco will drive Nightfood's Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform deployment across hospitality verticals while simultaneously leading the company's hotel asset acquisition strategy. His deep operational insight will ensure that the integration of AI-powered automation with real estate ownership delivers scalable and efficient performance in Nightfood's expanding portfolio.
Sonny Wang, who previously served as CEO, has transitioned to the role of Chief Revenue Officer, where he will focus on revenue maximization across the Company's core verticals—AI robotics, hotel operations, and hospitality supply chain.
'Jimmy and Ried are exactly the kind of leaders we need to build a robust, high-performing public company,' said Jamie Steigerwald, Chairman of Nightfood Holdings. 'Jimmy brings unmatched supply chain expertise and a strategic capital markets perspective, while Ried adds decades of real estate and hotel performance management combined with cutting-edge robotics implementation. Together, they're positioning Nightfood to become a market leader in technology-enabled hospitality.'
These appointments come on the heels of Nightfood's acquisitions of Skytech Automated Solutions and CarryOutSupplies.com, forming a vertically integrated foundation to deliver next-generation service solutions across hotels and foodservice industries.

Avant Technologies and Partner, Ainnova, Finalizing Automated Retinal Camera Prototype Ahead of Full-Scale Development
LAS VEGAS, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) ("Avant" or the "Company"), and its JV partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the Company is in the final stages of prototyping its proprietary automated retinal camera. Ainnova's new device will offer users a low cost, easier to use camera that captures images automatically and then uploads those images to the Company's Vision AI software platform, which then produces a "risk report" in mere seconds. Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer at Ainnova and member of the Board of Directors of the joint venture company, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp., said, "The cost of a fundus camera has always been a barrier to entry into in this market, so our low-cost camera, which is a fraction of the cost of currently available cameras on the market, should allow us to not only enter the market, but to capture a large share of the market. "Another significant advantage will be that our camera will be seamlessly packaged together with our Vision AI platform, allowing us to refer more patients in less time and accurately to medical specialists. Also, one of our objectives is to integrate other technologies to this preventive screening, expanding the scope from only diabetic patients to patients who have other risk factors and want to prevent other diseases from a more complete approach." Vision AI is a powerful cutting-edge, AI-driven platform that can quickly and accurately detect the early markers of a host of diseases by applying AI models to examine imaging data from the eye to expedite earlier detection and allow patients to better manage their disease. The diseases that Vision AI can detect, include diabetic retinopathy, other retinopathies, such as glaucoma, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, and other anomalies, as well as other diseases that do not require retinal images, and instead, use other datapoints that Ainnova has integrated into the software like the detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, liver fibrosis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, Ainnova's Vision AI software works well with any fundus camera on the market; however, Ainnova and Avant are aiming for exclusivity by developing a lower-cost, easier to use camera. Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), the company formed by the partnership between Avant and Ainnova, will develop the retinal cameras as part of the joint venture and licensing deal to facilitate the development of Ainnova's technology portfolio. AAC owns the global licensing rights to develop, maintain, and market Ainnova's technology portfolio. About Ainnova Tech, Inc. Ainnova is a Nevada-based healthtech startup with headquarters in San Jose, Costa Rica, and Houston, Texas. Founded by an experienced and innovative team that is dedicated to leveraging artificial intelligence for early disease detection. Recognized with multiple global awards and renowned partnerships with hospitals and medical device companies, we proudly introduce Vision AI – our cutting-edge platform designed to prevent blindness and detect the early onset of diabetes. Explore how Ainnova is revolutionizing healthcare through advanced technology and proactive solutions. About Avant Technologies, Inc.
