VANCOUVER, June 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Pasha Brands Ltd. ("Pasha") (CSE: CRFT), Canada's largest craft cannabis brands organization, introduced today the four founding directors of its board. The new directors are Patrick Brauckmann, Rosy Mondin, Scott Walters, and Hugo Alves.
"I am pleased Pasha has gained the confidence of such a capable and diverse group of individuals on our Board of Directors," said Patrick Brauckmann, Executive Chairman of Pasha Brands. "Each one of these individuals brings with them a unique and key skillset along with deep expertise, and a passion for the plant, which will benefit the company's strategic direction and governance oversight."
Patrick Brauckmann was a founding member of Doja Cannabis' Board in 2017 which later merged with Tokyo Smoke creating Hiku Brands in 2018.
