Global tech, pro sports and contemporary cannabis: Modern Leaf is proud to announce Anthony LeBlanc, former NHL Team President and former Research in Motion Vice President, as new Chief Executive Officer
TORONTO, March 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Modern Leaf, an industry-leading cannabis education and e-commerce platform for Canadians, is pleased to welcome Anthony LeBlanc as its new CEO.
Anthony LeBlanc is a global business thought leader with more than 25 years of experience leading teams in Information Technology and Professional Sports to renowned success in Canada and globally.
"I've learned that the best thing you can do in business is to surround yourself with people who have talent, intelligence, and specific knowledge and experience. With Anthony's experience at Blackberry and the NHL, and his ability to drive a business in a competitive atmosphere, we knew we had a winner. We've never had a team this good, and now we have the best coach in our field," says Preston Drummond, Modern Leaf Founder & Executive Chairman.
Modern Leaf's focus on education and training with its Certified Cannabis Guides, as well as the team's vast experience in Canada's regulatory environments, was key in LeBlanc's decision to lead its Executive Team.
"As we prepare for the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, I like so many others was intrigued but at the same time had a number of questions. When I was introduced to Modern Leaf, I thought they had the focus that was necessary, educating Canadians on the proper use of cannabis, and figuring out a way to provide a bespoke experience to individuals like myself that are not as familiar with the products and strains available. I also felt it was an organization I could help as it prepares for a period of rapid growth," says Anthony LeBlanc.
Anthony LeBlanc's visionary approach to sales, marketing, scaling operations and training teams makes him the logical choice for Chief Executive Officer to drive Modern Leaf's strategic vision forward.
Modern Leaf is a cannabis education service providing a controlled, guided sales process and premium quality cannabis products through its Certified Cannabis Guides; ecommerce, online and in-person support, and training centres.
Anthony LeBlanc is available for phone, print, radio, or television interviews.
