Joshua Dias

After obtaining a degree from the Alpina School of Hotel Management in Switzerland and with a degree in international business, Joshua G. Dias started a successful seafood trading company sourcing live lobsters and other seafood from Africa for the European market.

His experience with international trade and the food industry led him to develop DIAS BRAND INC. with partner Haibin Gao in Toronto.
