Griese echoed Dhaliwal’s excitement about the appointment and spoke to the company’s potential. “I am proud to be joining Supreme Cannabis as it enters its next stage of growth,” Griese added. “I look forward to working with the teams behind Supreme Cannabis’ impressive infrastructure, award-winning brands, and consumer-oriented products. My decision to join the [SPRWF] team was simple. I wanted to work alongside the most passionate people at a company that was shaping the industry.”

In his new role, Griese will work closely with Supreme Cannabis Company’s general managers at the 7ACRES, Blissco and Truverra facilities, as well as the general manager for the company’s newest facility in Kitchener, Ontario., to ensure a cohesive, efficient operational strategy that can respond to market trends. “I look forward to creating the most effective supply chain in the cannabis industry with the agility to adjust quickly to [the industry’s] dynamic nature,” he said.
