SEATTLE — Jones Soda Co., a developer of sodas and hemp-infused beverages, has unveiled several leadership changes and innovation plans.

The company has named Scott Harvey as its chief executive officer and Brian Meadows as chief financial officer. 

“In the last three months we have adjusted our business plan to prioritize what we believe to be the most promising segments of our portfolio, including new products in our innovation pipeline,” said Paul Norman, chairman of the board of directors and who also has served as interim CEO and chief financial officer since late 2024 at Jones Soda Co. “We are confident that we now have all the pieces in place to deliver high growth and profitable performance. Both Scott and Brian have deep food and beverage experience, have successfully driven business transformation in their previous roles, and we believe will provide immediate hands-on value in implementing our strategy.”

Harvey joins the beverage company from Dunn Brothers Coffee, where he most recently was president for the coffee shop chain. 

Harvey also has worked with such companies as Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery, Inc., Black Rifle Coffee Co., Nathan’s Famous, Inc. and LSG SkyChefs holding several vice president and presidential leadership positions. 

Meadows brings his financial knowledge to the company most recently from Simply Better Brands Corp. There, he “guided the development and growth of Hero brand Trubar.”

The company said its business plan also includes focusing on new and legacy products. Those products include modern soda, adult beverages and craft soda. 

The company said it will innovate size formats for its craft soda category. The company plans to launch 7.5-oz Jones minis and zero-sugar versions of its “most popular flavors” and will continue to market its 12-oz craft sodas. 

The company’s modern soda category will see enhancements to its Pop Jones and Fiesta Jones beverages. 

The Pop Jones beverages are all-natural functional sodas with 30 calories, 4 grams of sugar, fiber and immune support. 

Fiesta Jones is a Latin-inspired collection that was developed for convenience stores. The product features 80 calories with no artificial colors or caffeine. 

The Spiked Jones and Mary Jones Hemp Delta-9 (HD9) beverages are both included in the company’s enhancement plans in the adult beverage category. 

Spiked Jones is a hard craft soda that “combines six of the company’s pure cane sugar soda flavors with hard ciders.”
