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.
