Cronos GRoup (TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ: CRON) this morning announced that Mike Gorenstein will be stepping aside as both President and CEO of the firm, while remaining with the company in the role of executive chairman. Taking his place will be that of Kurt Schmidt, whom comes with experience from executive roles at Blue Buffalo Company, Nestle S.A., Gerber and Kraft Foods.

We’ve built a premier global cannabinoid Company with a portfolio of innovative technology, differentiated consumer brands, an excellent team, a fortress balance sheet and a strong strategic partner. Over the past year, I’ve led a search for an experienced consumer focused executive who shares the Company’s values and can help take us to the next level.
