Boston, MA (November 26, 2019) – Ascend Wellness Holdings (AWH), a leading multi-state cultivator and retailer, has announced it is expanding the leadership team, adding three veteran professionals in cultivation, administration and marketing.

Bohm will manage the AWH overall marketing strategy for the rapidly expanding cannabis brand, lead the development of innovation strategy, brand portfolio strategy and manage the product development process.

“Frank, Leah and Kerry are the kinds of innovative thinkers we want leading our team as we continue to expand into new U.S. markets.  We will continue to seek out and develop the best individuals from both inside and outside the cannabis industry as our brand grows,” added Kurtin.
