Global cannabis company TerrAscend (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF) this morning announced that it has made modifications to its leadership team in coordination with the company’s focus on its rapidly scaling U.S. retail, manufacturing, and distribution operations. Michael Nashat has stepped down as CEO but will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and act as a strategic advisor to the company. Jason Ackerman, executive chairman of the company, has been named interim CEO. “While it was a difficult decision, I believe given TerrAscend's premier operating assets in the United States, it is now time for me to step into an advisory role and let new U.S.-based management guide TerrAscend as they expand and scale,” Michael Nashat stated in the news release. “Jason's experience in omnichannel retail, distribution and operations are skills that TerrAscend will lean on as it enters this new growth phase. In my time working alongside Jason, it is clear that he is the right person to take on this role, and as a large shareholder, I believe this is what is best for securing TerrAscend's future. I look forward to continuing to advise the company in my board position and as a strategic advisor.”
