Insights

Corporate governance analyst

Healthy Extracts rotated key leadership roles, naming a new CEO and redefining its president/COO positions.

Healthy Extracts Inc. disclosed that, effective September 16, 2025, Donald Swanson became Chief Executive Officer, while Kevin “Duke” Pitts moved into the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer. This represents an internal reshuffling of responsibilities among existing senior leaders rather than bringing in outside management.

The company also noted there are no family relationships between its officers or directors, which aligns with typical governance disclosures and reduces concerns about related-party influence in these moves. The filing does not provide additional context on strategic reasons or expected operational changes tied to these new titles, so the impact on day-to-day operations or long-term direction remains to be seen based solely on this information.
