The parent company of nutraceutical firm Ovos Natural Health said Dec. 15 that Bellini has been with the Montreal-based firm for eight years, most recently as VP of business development. Francesco Bellini announced his resignation in June but will remain chairman. Bellus also named Charles Cavell deputy chairman. He has been a board member since June 2009.

Ovos already markets the homotaurine-based product in other countries (1"The Tan Sheet" Dec. 21, 2009)
