Details on the departure of Ackerman were brief, with Wild commenting, “On behalf of the entire team, I’d like to thank Jason Ackerman for his contributions as CEO and Board Member during his time with TerrAscend. Unfortunately, there were differences in philosophy over management style and culture, and the Board and I decided it is in the best interest of the Company for us to part ways. We wish him the best in all his future endeavors.”
The removal of Ackerman from the position comes less than a year after Ackerman having been appointed to the role on a permanent basis.
