Cannex’s vision, strong financial foundation and operational leadership attracts top talent,” continued Dutton, “and Dave will be an excellent lead for our finance and accounting teams as we execute on our business plan.”

Most recently Mr. Croom has been CEO of Open Ocean Ventures, a Seattle-based company that provides project management, infrastructure and business services solutions to a broad range of industry leaders.

"Cannex is an operational leader in the rapidly growing US cannabis sector and I am very excited to be joining this young and dynamic group,” said Dave Croom. “I have had the opportunity to work with Cannex on a consulting basis and am in full support of their business plan and emerging multi-state strategy. The cannabis industry is quickly becoming a branded goods market where operational excellence is a critical success factor. Cannex stood out with its great culture and its focus on operations, products, customer service and innovation. These are important to me and I look forward to working with the whole team to unlock Cannex’s considerable potential.”
