"Binovi's brand visibility has grown exponentially during the pandemic, resulting in significant quarter over quarter increased sales and revenue growth.

I am grateful for the support Ms. Archer is providing during this transition period and will continue to build on her work and the relationships she established with numerous athletes, sports and other organizations."
