NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prenetics Global Limited (NASDAQ: PRE) (“Prenetics” or the “Company”), a leading consumer health company and parent of the AI-native direct-to-consumer wellness brand IM8, co-founded by David Beckham, today announced the appointment of Caroline Levy to its Board of Directors as an independent director. Ms. Levy will also serve on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Ms. Levy brings more than three decades of experience analyzing and advising consumer companies. Ranked among Wall Street’s top consumer analysts by Institutional Investor (“II”) and The Wall Street Journal, she spent a decade at UBS — where she led U.S. consumer research, served as Chief Operating Officer of Research and chaired the Investment Review Committee. She subsequently spent eight years as a managing director and senior analyst at CLSA and most recently covered the beverage sector at Macquarie.
Ms. Levy is a current member of the Board of Directors of Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CELH), where she has served since 2020, a period in which Celsius grew from an emerging challenger into one of the most successful consumer growth stories of the decade. She brings to Prenetics deep expertise across consumer brands, capital markets, and corporate governance — and firsthand experience guiding a high-growth consumer company through rapid scale.
Danny Yeung, Chief Executive Officer of Prenetics and Co-Founder of IM8, said: “I have known Caroline for more than two years, and I am truly honored to welcome her to our Board. Directors of her caliber have their choice of boardrooms. Caroline spent three decades as one of the most respected voices in consumer investing, and she has been inside some of the industry's greatest success stories. She chose to bring that experience to Prenetics, at exactly the moment we need it most: as IM8 scales from breakout brand to global company. Her judgment will make us better, and our shareholders stronger.”
Caroline Levy said: “I have followed Prenetics closely for more than two years and have been impressed by the progress Danny and the team have made. IM8 is addressing a growing consumer interest in health, nutrition and longevity, and I believe there is a significant opportunity ahead. I look forward to working with the Board and management team as the company enters its next phase of development.”
