SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, May 17, 2021 — International Land Alliance, Inc. (OTCQB:ILAL), (“ILA” or the “Company”), an international land investment and development firm, has appointed Frank Ingrande as President. Mr. Ingrande joins the Company from Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC (“RCV”), a profitable developer of a 1,100-acre, 1,200-lot master planned community in Baja California.

“I am pleased to announce the appointment of Frank to our senior management team,” said Roberto Valdes, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of ILA. “His extensive experience in real estate sales and development in the northern Baja California region will prove to be invaluable as we execute on our operating strategy across our properties. Additionally, by closing on the ownership position in RCV we will have access to expanded sales and marketing resources, while the profitable development serves as an exceptional complement to our real estate portfolio.”

“Given my tenured experience in Baja California’s residential real estate industry, I am well-acquainted with the ILA team and am impressed with the portfolio they have built,” said Frank Ingrande, President of ILA. “Over the last two decades, the RCV team, including myself and co-partners Robert Rios and Michael Cresci, has built a deep network of affiliates throughout California and Baja by selling over $500 million of residential assets. I look forward to working closely with Roberto, Jason, and the ILA team to serve the flourishing demand in the region for luxury homes equipped with cutting-edge, sustainable technology.”

Mr. Ingrande currently serves as President of Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC, which he co-founded in 2008. He holds a BBA in Finance and an MBA with an emphasis in new venture management & international business from the University of San Diego.
