Linton recently spoke with Benzinga about his interest in joining the booming pet market.
“I want to have high visibility and influence over how dog and other mammal research occurs,” he said. “I want to have the ability to look at where brands are being aggregated and brought together, because there's gonna be some big value in that.”
