Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 19, 2023) - AgriCann Solutions Corp. (the "Company" or "AgriCann") announces executive appointments and voting results from the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting ("AGM") held in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 17, 2023.
Executive Appointments
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Adam Sancewicz as Chief Executive Officer. Since joining AgriCann as Executive Vice-President of Operations in Q4 2021, Adam progressively assumed greater responsibilities as a strategist, team leader and sales director. After refining, implementing and successfully establishing the economics of our strategic business model, Adam built a dedicated technical and operations team and assembled a genetic library and pipeline of rare and potent cultivars, key inputs to our branding and market positioning. Appointed President in August 2022, Adam spearheaded the difficult decision to transition operations from our Lake Country greenhouse operations to the fully licenced ~18,000 sq.ft. four-unit building in Vernon we currently occupy, perfectly suited for our expansion plans. Adam's focus and passion is integral to AgriCann's ambitions to build and strengthen the cannabis industry using premium genetics, scalable support for craft cultivators, and global alliances.
To further build out our executive team, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Bobby Athwal as its new Chief Operating Officer. Bobby brings a unique combination of skills and experience well-suited for this role, having started his professional career as an engineer prior to becoming an attorney, specializing in intellectual property law. Bobby brings an exceptional understanding of the retail cannabis landscape, having launched and listed multiple brands with provincial distributors across Canada, and establishing an impressive track record of building and managing successful cannabis companies. With Bobby's passion and strong leadership skills, and deep knowledge of the cannabis sector, AgriCann is well-positioned to execute on its strategy and achieve its goals. Bobby's expertise will be critical as we continue to grow and expand our operations, and his demonstrated ability to work closely with Adam plays a key role in driving our continued success.
Rob van Santen, founding CEO of the Company, continues his involvement as Executive Chairman of the Board, financially supporting the Company's growth, and remains responsible for overseeing and helping guide the overall direction and strategy of the Company.
Timothy Tombe, founding COO of the Company, has resigned his executive position to devote more time to his family, travel and other business affairs, and remains a director. The Company thanks Tim for his mentorship and financial support and wishes him all the best for good health and safe travels.
