General Enterprise Ventures names Wes Bolsen as new CEO

General Enterprise Ventures Inc. (OTC: GEVI) appointed Wes Bolsen as chief executive officer, with former CEO Ted Ralston transitioning to chairman of the board.

Bolsen brings more than 20 years of experience in high-growth companies and wildfire protection technology. He co-founded and led LaderaTech as CEO, building it into what the company describes as a leading wildfire prevention technology company before selling it to Perimeter Solutions. He later joined Perimeter's leadership team during its growth and $2 billion public listing.

Bolsen holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Economics from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and an MBA from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.

"Wes brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial vision, proven leadership and deep knowledge of the wildfire industry," Ralston said. "Having helped launch and build five companies over the last 20 years, Wes has successfully taken breakthrough innovations to market."

General Enterprise Ventures operates through its subsidiary Mighty Fire Breaker, which offers wildfire defense solutions including home defense systems and fire-resilient building products. The company's CitroTech fire inhibitor has EPA Safer Choice designation and UL GREENGUARD GOLD certification.

Bolsen stated the EPA-listed product line "has the potential to transform how we prevent fires, protect homes and assets, manufacture and treat wood products and lumber, and ensure safe ingress and egress for firefighters and communities."

Steve Conboy, founder and chief technology officer of MFB, said Bolsen's leadership will support plans to uplist to a national stock exchange. Ralston will remain involved during the transition to support strategic partnerships in wood products and insurance sectors.
