TORONTO, July 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biome Grow (“Biome”) announced today that Steven Poirier, former President of Moosehead Breweries Ltd. and a Senior Executive in Canada’s alcohol beverage industry, has been appointed as a Director to the Board of Directors of Biome effective immediately.
As President of Moosehead Breweries, Mr. Poirier oversaw the company’s three operating divisions. Moosehead Breweries is the third largest brewery in Canada and holds the largest share of the beer market in New Brunswick. More recently, Mr. Poirier was Senior Vice President of Sales with Arterra Wines Canada (formerly Constellation Brands), the world leader in premium wine that also dominates the Canadian wine segment. Prior to Constellation, Mr. Poirier served as Vice President-General Manager with Treasury Wine Estates, the third largest wine company in the world and the second largest imported wine company in Canada.
“Biome is excited to have Steven join our Board of Directors. His relationships across Atlantic Canada and his pan-Canadian alcohol beverage marketing and distributing expertise is second to none,” said Khurram Malik, President and CEO of Biome Grow. “And, as we have seen from Constellation’s strategic investment in the sector, Steven’s industry relationships and expertise position Biome well to capitalize on the potential investments we expect to see from other large alcohol beverage players.”
In addition to leading sales, distribution and market growth across the alcohol beverage sector, Mr. Poirier has also led marketing and new product development in the retail, food service, paper and financial sectors. He has worked with well-known brands, including McCain Foods, F.B.M. Distillery (Bacardi Rum) and Royal Trust, where he has successfully launched new products, boosted corporate profitability and earnings, and grown market share and sales volumes.
“I am honoured to join Biome’s Board of Directors and share my perspectives from the alcohol beverage industry in support of Biome’s continued growth across Atlantic Canada and the country,” said Steven Poirier. “Biome is becoming a leader in the Canadian cannabis space and I am looking forward to bringing my experiences and insights to the table.”
Mr. Poirier holds his Master of Business Administration (Finance and Marketing) from York University and his Bachelor of Commerce from Concordia University.
