Marapharm Ventures Inc. (OTCQB: MRPHF) (CSE: MDM.CN) (FSE: 2MO) ("Marapharm" or the " Company") (http://www.marapharm.com/), Board of Directors has appointed Brian Lovig as Interim-President while the Company expands its operations and prepares to scale production in Nevada.
Brian Lovig is a businessman with vast entrepreneurial experience who has been involved in the establishment of multiple businesses in multiple sectors. He is the founder and facilitator of Marapharm and from time to time has been a consultant to Marapharm and is familiar with its current projects and personnel.
"Marapharm recently was issued Medical Marijuana Licenses for 290,000 square feet of cultivation and production in the state of Nevada. It is expected that these will transition to recreational licenses. Marapharm is growing rapidly in other states also and has asked for my help with operations, so I've agreed to a six month work plan. I have arranged for others to manage most of my other businesses so that I am able to focus on Marapharm. I've consulted for Marapharm and have brought opportunities to Marapharm in the past which have had a lot of value added by the Marapharm team for shareholders. I'm looking forward to doing some big things during the short time that I will be at the helm." - Brian Lovig, Marapharm President.
