Organigram Holdings Inc. (OGI.V) (OGRMF) (the “Company” or “Organigram”), a leading licensed producer of medical marijuana based in Moncton, New Brunswick, is pleased to announce the appointment of healthcare and consumer packaged goods (CPG) veteran, Tim Emberg, as the company’s Vice President of Sales and Commercial Operations. Mr. Emberg will assume his new role effective October 2, 2017.

Mr. Emberg is an accomplished, bilingual, senior marketing and sales leader with a proven track record in healthcare, OTC and CPG organizations including Roche Canada, Jamieson Laboratories and Frito-Lay Canada. As VP of Sales and Commercial Operations, he will focus on continuing to build on key relationships within the medical cannabis market place, as well as ensuring a presence in the increasingly important market of Ontario.  As the Company transitions from a strictly medical enterprise into a hybrid business including adult recreational markets, Mr. Emberg will be a key pillar in positioning Organigram as a cannabis leader in Canada.  Mr. Emberg also brings his extensive knowledge of the Canadian market access and regulatory environments to the role.

“We are exceptionally pleased to welcome Tim to the Organigram team,” says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. “As we continue to grow, Tim’s tremendous experience and expertise, as well as his personal commitment to exceptional customer service, will help us best meet the needs of our dynamic, evolving customer base across the country.”

Mr. Emberg will be based in Ontario but will oversee Organigram’s sales team across the country. Mr. Emberg is originally from the Ottawa area and holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Ottawa.

“My vision as CEO has been to assemble a world-class team of professionals who are passionate about our business and our customers,” continues Mr. Engel. “Tim is an exciting addition to that team and we look forward to his contributions to our continuing leadership as a producer of cannabis in Canada.”

Additionally, Organigram is pleased to announce the appointment of Dylan Rogers as an Investor Relations Analyst.  Prior to joining Organigram, Dylan worked as a Business Intelligence Analyst in the health care industry and was a frequent contributor to cannabis investor publications.  Dylan holds a Bachelor in Business degree from St. Francis Xavier University and will work from Organigram’s recently opened Toronto satellite office, which provides the company with a centralized location to expand our reach and access across the investor community.
