September 09 2019 - 8:35AM
Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. (CSE: GLH) (OTCQB: GLDFF) (“Golden Leaf”
or the “Company”), a pioneer cannabis solutions company and
dispensary operator built around recognized brands, announced two
new key additions to its executive management team with the hiring
of Stan Grissinger as President and the promotion of Erin Hills to
Senior Vice President, Operations. Both Mr. Grissinger and
Ms. Hills will report directly to CEO Jeffrey Yapp.
“Stan and Erin are strong, experienced leaders
that have proven track records in driving growth and raising global
brand awareness. This added depth will be crucial as Golden Leaf
launches several high-value initiatives in the coming months,”
commented Golden Leaf CEO Jeff Yapp. “The cannabis marketplace is
incredibly dynamic and the additions of Stan and Erin, two
performance-driven individuals with a wealth of experience and
consumer-oriented mindsets, will be vital as we continue to expand
the Golden Leaf and Chalice Farms retail footprint both in the U.S.
and abroad.”
In his position as President, Mr. Grissinger
will focus on growing revenues, marketplaces and business
development. Mr. Grissinger joins Golden Leaf after nearly two
decades at Nike where he served as a global
sales, international business development and product creation
executive. He led a multitude of cross-functional teams on key
growth initiatives including Nike’s move into golf and developed
holistic marketplace strategies to elevate the brand in critical
markets and with key customers around the globe.
Mr. Grissinger commented, “Golden Leaf has been
one of the pioneers of the cannabis industry and an early
trendsetter when it comes to developing a unique and inviting
cannabis brand. I’ve always been intrigued by the growth of the
cannabis industry, and understanding Jeff Yapp’s leadership and
bold vision for the future of this company, I jumped at the chance
to join the Golden Leaf team.”
As Senior Vice President, Operations, Ms. Hills
will oversee the production, distribution and supply chain
operations in all markets for the Company. Ms. Hills will also
support the expansion of the Company’s products into new markets
and the development of Golden Leaf’s new products pipeline. Since
joining Chalice Farms as Vice President of Operations in 2015, Ms.
Hills has helped strengthen Golden Leaf’s retail presence in the
Oregon and Nevada markets, and has overseen the opening of five new
dispensary locations. Prior to joining Golden Leaf, Erin worked at
a number of different businesses, focusing on franchise
sales/operations, performance management, marketing and sales.
Ms. Hills commented, “I’m excited to expand my
role with Golden Leaf and continue to contribute to the long-term
success of the Company. A hallmark of our Golden Leaf and Chalice
brands has been the unique connections consumers have made with our
products and I look forward to strengthening our existing customer
relationships and expanding the national reach of our brands.”
