Australia-based medical cannabis company Zelira Therapeutics Ltd ZLD ZLDAF announced this week a consolidation of its global leadership, moving its higher ranks to the United States.
This transition seeks to better position Zelira for growth in global markets.
Dr. Oludare Odumosu, who had been serving as the company’s CEO and managing director for the U.S., will now assume the sole role of global CEO and managing director.
- Massive Demand & Disruptive Potential – Boxabl has received interest for over 190,000 homes, positioning itself as a major disruptor in the housing market.
- Revolutionary Manufacturing Approach – Inspired by Henry Ford’s assembly line, Boxabl’s foldable tiny homes are designed for high-efficiency production, making homeownership more accessible.
- Affordable Investment Opportunity – With homes priced at $60,000, Boxabl is raising $1 billion to scale production, offering investors a chance to own a stake in its growth.
Dr. Richard Hopkins, his Australia-based counterpart, served as CEO and managing director outside the U.S. He will be leaving his position, but staying with the company through Spring 2021 to assist with the transition.
According to Zelira Chairman Osagie Imosogie, transitioning to a US-based leadership team is a central element in Zelira’s long term strategy.
“Through our Australian leadership under Dr. Hopkins, we were able to develop a pipeline of clinical trials through which we were able to launch three products into the Australian market,” Imosogie told Benzinga. “Consolidating our leadership in the US under Dr. Odumosu is a logical step towards greater leverage in the rapidly expanding US cannabis sector, while continuing to grow our product revenues in other markets.”
The leadership move comes a week after the National Cannabis Roundtable (NCR) announced Dr. Odumosu was joining NCR’s board.
