TORONTO, April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Canada House Wellness Group Inc. (CSE: CHV) (“Canada House” or the “Company”), an industry leading fully integrated medical cannabis company, announced today the appointment of Michael Orrbrooke as the Company’s Chief Revenue Officer. Mr. Orrbrooke will start in his role immediately.



Mr. Orrbrooke holds a Bachelors Degree in Business from the University of Guelph and has received Executive Training at Columbia University in New York City. He began his professional career in the tobacco industry, spanning 8 years in Sales, Marketing, Partnerships and Brand between British American Tobacco in Montreal and Japan Tobacco Inc. out of New York City. In 2004, he returned to Canada completing strategic assignments in the highly regulated industries of Telecommunications with Bell Canada and Satellite Radio when he helped to launch XM Satellite Radio to the Canadian Marketplace. In 2007, Mr. Orrbrooke acquired a controlling interest in a Specialty Retail Franchise system which he led and grew from 8 stores in the Greater Toronto Area to 21 stores across Canada, at which point he exited through a sale to a strategic buyer. For the next 5 years Mr. Orrbrooke was an integral part of the International Executive Team at Rdio out of San Francisco along with Strategic Consulting engagements in Real Estate Development & Construction and Financial Services. For the past three years Mr. Orrbrooke has worked in Executive roles within the Canadian cannabis industry both with an early stage applicant and a Tier 2 Licensed Producer.

“Mike is a wonderful addition to the Canada House team,” said Chris Churchill-Smith, Canada House’s CEO. “Mike’s extensive experience in the cannabis and tobacco industries and other highly regulated marketplaces is invaluable. His proven brand and business development skills both in Canada and abroad will strengthen Canada House’s key relationships, develop strategic alliances and expand sales channels across all Canada House divisions, accelerating our path to profitability and creating shareholder value.”

“I am very excited to be joining Canada House,” added Orrbrooke. “I wholeheartedly believe in Canada House’s business model and management team. With a fully operational state-of-the-art production facility, pending EU-GMP certification, and premium product coming to market mid-year, the Company is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the global cannabis marketplace. I look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
