RE:48North Announces the Appointment of Industry Veteran Alan

Only 1 sentence to officially announce Jeanette's departure. Typically there is a big message of thanks when a leading member of the team leaves a company. I think this makes it clear her departure was not friendly. Doesn't mean much really, it's just further indication of my comment yesterday that a co-CEO model never really works.

Jeanette did a great job on a successful first harvest but obviously her ambitions go beyond that. Best to her. The appointment of Alan Gertner will help tremendously in their retail and branding strategy.

Alison has a clear vision for 48. Regarding her Instagram post of jumping on the bed, I believe that was on her personal account. Even so, social media is just that... they are social posts. They are not to be used as another avenue to dissemenate information pertainting to the business. We will get an official update soon, we just have to wait longer than we would like for it.
