LOS ANGELES, Feb. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, INC. (OTC Grey: PNPL) (the “Company”), a publicly traded company that offers consulting, technology, investments, turn-key property rentals and branding concepts to businesses in the legal cannabis industry, today announced a comprehensive restructuring of its existing management team. The new management team features a rare blend of ivy-league talent with significant canna-business experience. As part of the restructuring, Shawn Credle steps in as CEO, replacing Matthew Feinstein, who will transition to the role of VP of Sales for the Company’s newly formed Hemp CBD Division. In addition, Joshua Eisenberg has been appointed Chief Operations Officer for the Company.
Shawn Credle, the Company’s newly appointed CEO, is a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, an entrepreneur, and an educator as a college professor teaching Leadership/Entrepreneurship. Shawn graduated first in his class in military school and after four years of honorable service, Shawn obtained 5 college degrees including 3 master’s degrees.
Shawn Credle, CEO for Pineapple Express, Inc. stated, “It is an absolute honor and privilege to put my wealth of education and leadership experience to work in harmony in this well positioned and primed organization. We plan on leveraging our Pineapple Express and THC brands as well as announcing some very exciting developments as they unfold for us in the upcoming months. We strive to be the industry standard as well as a company that customers can rely upon and investors can trust.”
With Shawn’s leadership, his attention to detail, and extensive education, management is confident he will effectively disseminate the culture and purpose for Pineapple Express’s business model as well as sharpen the vision of the business to all employees, clients, and the public.
Josh Eisenberg, the Company’s newly appointed COO, is a Wharton business alumnus. Josh passed over consulting, finance and marketing positions to pursue an entrepreneurial opportunity in the Cannabis industry shortly after graduating. Having grown up in southern California, he came back after college and founded a successful Cannabis delivery business. After Prop 64 passed in California, Josh gained valuable lobbying and public relations experience on behalf of the Cannabis industry in the local northern LA cities he served.
With Josh designing the operational and marketing strategies and planning the expansion, Pineapple Express’s envisioned vertical integration may allow the Company to scale bigger, better and faster than the competition. “We aim to take the burgeoning cannabis industry by storm, reminiscent of a Pineapple Express tropical system that gave birth to the iconic name long ago,” said Joshua Eisenberg, COO for Pineapple Express, Inc. “Those who want the most experienced operators and the best quality product need not look any further.”
