Bhang’s (BHNG) President/CEO and Director Jamie Pearson is stepping down after seven years with the company.
Under Pearson’s leadership, Bhang transformed from a California favorite into a household name in the cannabis industry.
She launched the brand into 6 US states including a multi-state deal with Trulieve Cannabis and ushered Bhang into Canada where it has been the #1 and #2 top-selling cannabis-infused chocolate for over two years. Fluent in German, Pearson also expanded the CBD division into nine European countries, further amplifying the brand’s reach. Twice named to High Times’ list of most influential women in cannabis, Pearson secured celebrity partnerships for Bhang with Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs, the Soul Assassins, Jim Belushi and The Blues Brothers.
Jamie Pearson commented on the news.
“My tenure at Bhang has been unbelievably rewarding. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with so many incredible people and feel overwhelming gratitude for all the success I experienced. It is a testament to the strength of what Bhang’s founders built and the passion, dedication, and inspired work of our team day in day out. As Bhang has grown, my vision has not been consistent with that of our largest shareholder. As such, it is time for me to move on. I leave extremely proud of what I accomplished and want to thank those in the organization who supported me.”
Executive Chairman of the Board, Mr. Graham Simmonds added,
“Jamie’s dogged persistence and transformational work will outlast her. We respect her decision and wish her much success in the future. As an active Board member over the past two years, I have been closely involved with the Company and its management, and this will allow me to guide the Company forward as we seek to find a replacement CEO.”
A nationwide search for Pearson’s replacement is expected to begin shortly. In the meantime, Mr. Graham Simmonds will assume the role of interim CEO. Mr. Simmonds is also the Chairman of Plant-Based Investment, Bhang’s largest shareholder. In addition to holding multiple Board seats on Canadian-listed publicly traded companies, Mr. Simmonds is also an experienced CEO and entrepreneur.
