VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LEEF Brands Inc. (CSE: LEEF) (OTCQB: LEEEF) (the "Company” or "LEEF Brands"), a leading California-based cannabis company, is excited to announce the appointment of Jesse Redmond as the company's new Head of Investor Relations and Business Development. In this role, Jesse will leverage his extensive industry expertise and financial acumen to build relationships with investors and accelerate business growth opportunities.
Jesse Redmond is a former hedge fund manager, dispensary operator, and cannabis analyst. He is regarded as a thought leader in the industry, with a proven track record of building strong relationships with investors and identifying high-value growth opportunities.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jesse to the LEEF team,” said Micah Anderson, CEO of LEEF Brands. "His deep understanding of the cannabis industry, coupled with his extensive experience in investor relations and business development, makes him the ideal person to help us navigate the next stage of our growth.”
In his new role, Jesse will focus on strengthening communications with LEEF's investors, building strategic partnerships, and exploring innovative opportunities to expand LEEF's market presence. With significant developments on the horizon - including planting the first phase of the 187-acre Salisbury Canyon Ranch, advancements in extraction technology, out-of-state opportunities, and LEEF's Bitcoin treasury strategy - 2025 is set to be a transformative year for the Company.
"I am honored to join LEEF Brands at such an important time in the company's evolution. I'm confident LEEF will be one of the most exciting companies in cannabis.
