Premium cannabis brand Orchid Ventures, Inc. (CSE:ORCD, OTC:ORVRF) (“Orchid Ventures” or the “Company”) announced today the appointment of Richard Brown to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Mr. Brown brings extensive operational experience that spans a diverse set of industries such as CPG, Retail, Health Care and Financial Services. During his career, he specialized in both scaling up companies with high-growth potential and transforming businesses to energize revenue growth. Most recently Brown was President of H&R Block’s Canadian operations, where he led the growth of tax and financial services for this $300 million company, plus built a proprietary digital tax software platform and e-commerce business. He also held senior executive positions at Burger King and Taco Bell in the US and PepsiCo Restaurants International in Canada, plus he spent 10 years in brand management with companies like Unilever, Gillette, and Lipton in the CPG sector.

At Orchid, Brown will focus on building the necessary infrastructure, operational expertise, and organizational talent required to execute our Multi-State Brand strategy and fuel momentum in the space. He will be responsible for building strong brand platforms and disruptive go-to-market strategies that will accelerate revenue growth across existing and new markets. With his experience building product innovation in the CPG sector and his knowledge of franchising and licensing, he will play an important role in our expansion plans by establishing contract manufacturing and licensing distribution agreements that will ensure a reliable and high-quality product supply that meets consumer demand expectations.

Tom Soto, Chair of the Board thanked Rick and stated, “as a long time veteran of consumer and retail brand success stories having Rick’s history, experience and passion for bringing high-quality products to market will elevate Orchid to greater heights of competition and success. With the current acquisition that will take our combined 2020 projected revenue over CA$200MM, over 130 employees, and the altitude at which we are scaling, Rick’s track-record will assist us in this stage and other acquisitions in the near future. Thank you Rick for joining our team.”

“There are a lot of people who are skilled at generating short-term revenues, but we are focused on building a sustainable enterprise that delivers great brands and products to its consumers,” said Brown. “I’m thrilled to join an exceptional company in a dynamic space with a solid business model and a vision focused on delivering best-in-class products for the health and wellness sector.”

“Rick has a proven track record of maximizing operational excellence at large enterprises,” said Corey Mangold, CEO, and Founder of Orchid Ventures. “We’re thrilled to have him join our Board at this time of unprecedented growth, and his experience will add velocity to the global expansion of our portfolio of brands.”
