"Cannabiniers has already positioned itself as a leader in the fast growing and ever-evolving cannabis industry, I'm thrilled to be supporting this groundbreaking company as it continues to disrupt the trillion dollar CPG industry."

Lorelli has held a variety of corporate director seats in both public and private companies. During his decade with PepsiCo, Inc., Michael served as President of Pizza Hut International, President of PepsiCola's Eastern U.S. bottling operations, and Chief Marketing Officer for PepsiCola North America. He has chaired committees of several Public companies, and currently serves on the boards of several businesses.

"Our business is growing in every way possible, from revenues, people, real estate, and complexity; as such it is a top priority for management to ensure that we develop and grow governance at a pace that matches or exceed the company's growth rate," commented Timothy Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cannabiniers. "We are excited to have Mike join our company, as a former President of Pepsi Co (a Fortune 50 Company), responsible for over a billion dollars in annual revenues Mike brings priceless experience, structure and vision to our organization. We see this as an indicator of where public and corporate opinion is regarding cannabis (THC and CBD), as well as an indicator of how our brands are perceived by CPG Professionals, CPG corporations and the market."
