DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2019 / International Cannabrands Inc. (CSE:JUJU) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce that its 51% subsidiary La Vida Verde, Inc., ("LVV"), has appointed Julie Brookes as Chief Operations Officer, along with making an investment in expanded production capacity.

Julie Brooks joins the LVV team bringing 33 years of manufacturing, logistics, and distribution experience, and was most recently the Director of Manufacturing Operations at the California-based cannabis brand Defonce. Julie has spent 19 years in leadership roles with an industry focus in food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, and an advanced focus in regulatory compliance (EPA, OSHA, DOT, FDA, DOL).

Bryce Berryessa, CEO of La Vida Verde commented: 'We are excited to welcome Julie Brooks to the LVV team and believe that her experience and expertise will be vital to our growth as we go forward."

Further, LVV has recently implemented important growth initiatives to expand its manufacturing capacity by securing an additional 1,000 square foot facility within its current complex. This additional space should allow increased output where historically the distribution of LVV's brands have been constrained by lack of inventory.

Steve Gormley, CEO of the Company added: 'LVV continues to invest in their team and operations and have consistently achieved important milestone in this tumultuous market. We expect to continue to report enviable results.'
