BONSALL, CA--(NewMediaWire - Feb 9, 2016)
- MARIJUANA COMPANY OF
AMERICA ("MCOA" or the "Company")
(OTC
PINK: MCOA), an innovative cannabis marketing and
distribution company, has formed a strategic advisory board with
the appointment of Edward Manolos, Tim and Poni Altvater as
strategic advisors.
MCOA is forming a strategic advisory board comprised of the top
seasoned cannabis industry and business veterans with very specific
expertise that are directly applicable to the Company's business
model and strategy. We are recruiting subject matter experts as
strategic advisors with specific expertise in cannabis regulation,
cultivation, processing, manufacturing, product development,
marketing, brand development and recognition, distribution and
logistics, science, nutrition, marketing, distribution, legal,
compliance and many other areas critical to the success of the
Company.
Mr. Edward Manolos is one of the most
accomplished pioneers in the Medical Marijuana industry, having
opened the very first Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Los Angeles
County in 2004 called CMCA. He is also credited with starting Los
Angeles' first Medical Marijuana farmer's market referred to as
"The California Heritage Farmer's Market," which attracted local
and international media attention and was the first of its kind.
MCOA has tasked Mr. Manolos with identifying and structuring
strategic partnerships and product development.
Mr. Manolos is also the founder of many successful companies,
such as Everest Biosynthesis Group and Natural Plant Extracts USA
(NPE), a leading producer of pharmaceutical grade CBD that holds
the largest market share in the USA. He also Co-founded Ocen
Communications Inc. in 1997 (NASDAQ: OCEN), an Asia-focused
internet communications service provider transmitting voice, fax,
and data communications for consumers, carriers and corporations.
His diverse entrepreneurial focus led him on to launch the
KIWIBERRI Frozen yogurt franchise in 2005. The company is a
California-based frozen yogurt franchised that has opened several
locations throughout Los Angeles, Nevada, and Florida.
Mr. Manolos has provided consulting services to several
companies and has helped them obtain marijuana retail and
production licenses in California and Washington. He graduated from
the University of California Riverside with a double major in
Computer Science and Business Management.
Mr. Tim Altvater and his wife, Poni, are
Direct Sales, Home Business and Network Marketing Professionals. As
a team, they've spent more than two decades actively building
networks, helping companies launch and manage growth strategies.
Not many in the business can build MULTIPLE organizations, starting
from scratch. Tim and Poni have done that twice. After 16 years of
building teams in excess of more than 100,000 people, they launched
the "MLM Prosperity Project," a complete roadmap on how to do
EXACTLY what they do: step-by-step for success. The MLM Prosperity
Project helped and inspired hundreds of entrepreneurs to grow, in
many cases, hundreds of percent in a very short period of time.
Tim and Poni's exact "Do This, Say This = Get this result"
approach is relevant and successful as their personal sales
organizations have achieved more than $400 Million Dollars in
sales. Companies that they operate or are currently consulting have
achieved in excess of $1 billion in gross Sales. Tim also has
developed "sales language" courses that help companies and
entrepreneurs implement sales systems and training that simplify
and increase sales and profit.
"We're excited and honored to be working with MCOA. The
management team is a seasoned team of experts with an amazing track
record and commitment to success. The MCOA strategy offers an
excellent opportunity and a project not to miss out on. We look
forward to contributing to the great success of the company," said
Tim Altvater
The Altvater's believe that the future of the direct sales
industry is bright, especially when combined with strategic
marketing tactics, lead generation, online systems and
organizational training programs. It's an unparalleled platform for
allowing entrepreneurs to learn, grow and achieve financial
freedom. For more information, go to: http://www.timaltvater.com
Regarding the appointments, Mr. Steinberg, MCOA President said,
"Eddie's input on everything from cultivation to extraction to
product development and licensing will be extremely beneficial to
the Company. And, Tim's deep knowledge and experience in
developing, launching and marketing new brands will ensure the
success of the MCOA product line.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
