[23-September-2019] |
New Board Members Kathi Lentzsch and Betty Aldworth bring greater independence and a breadth and depth of experience across retail and regulatory VANCOUVER and PHOENIX, Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) ("4Front" or the "Company") today announced the appointment of Kathi Lentzsch, CEO and president of Bartell Drugs, and Betty Aldworth, executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, to its Board of Directors.
"I'm excited to see our new board taking shape with the additions of Kathi Lentzsch and Betty Aldworth, two leaders in their respective domains that bring strong experience and perspective, as well as greater independence, to our governance and team," said Josh Rosen, CEO of 4Front.
"In addition to the clear retail leadership that Kathi's career demonstrates, the combination of her current role as CEO of one of the largest independent pharmacy chains in the country, and an earlier role as CEO and board member of Elephant Pharmacy, an ahead-of-its-time pharmacy in the Bay Area, should give her a particularly insightful lens to help 4Front achieve its ambitions," Rosen said.
"Tying back to 4Front's original mission to help professionalize the industry, I anticipate Ms. Aldworth's network and lens as a longtime policy expert and advocacy leader should provide a strong regulatory perspective to our governance structure, something that can't be overstated in our emerging industry," Rosen said. In addition, the Company announced that Board Member Anthony Dutton will be stepping off the board. "I'd like to thank Mr. Dutton for his tenure on the Board, which ties back to the formation and governance of Cannex as its CEO. Anthony shared my vision for how great the two companies could be combined, and I thank him for his leadership of Cannex from its first days to the completion of our merger. He's helped provide a steady hand to make sure the integration of 4Front and Cannex went smoothly and provided valuable guidance to our new board members about the state of the industry. I look forward to his ongoing support of 4Front," Rosen said. Following the recent changes, 4Front's Board will consist of Chairman Eric Rey, Board Member and retired CEO of Arcadia Biosciences Inc; Josh Rosen, 4Front's CEO; Leo Gontmakher, 4Front's COO and President of Brightleaf, 4Front's production division; Kathi Lentzsch, President and CEO of Bartell Drugs; Betty Aldworth, Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy; and David Daily, CEO of Gravitron LLC.
