Management:
President and Chief Executive Officer of Lava Chocolate, LLC and the creator of the Lava Bar is Kenneth J. Berke, who also is a practicing attorney specializing in corporate law and mergers & acquisitions. Chief Financial Officer is Mauricio Braun. For the previous 11 years, Mr. Braun was CFO and a major shareholder of LGS Reports, Inc., a provider of information disclosures in connection with residential and commercial real estate transactions. LGS was sold to The First American Corporation late last year. Brief Background:
Mr. Berke has been dabbling with chocolate recipes since childhood. Development of the recipe for the Lava Bar was a three-year process before flavor, texture and packaging met his standards in 2006. All of the development work was done during off hours, with a thriving law practice taking up most of Mr. Berke's time during the day. In memory of his father, Rodney, who stimulated Mr. Berke's interest in chocolate recipes, Lava Chocolate, LLC, will donate a portion of its net income to leukemia research.
