Village Farms International has announced the appointment of Brian Stevenson to the role of Global Chief Strategy Officer. In this newly created role, Mr. Stevenson will lead the Company's enterprise-wide strategic agenda, including long-term growth strategy, global market assessment, and integration initiatives across regions and business units. Mr. Stevenson will report directly to Michael DeGiglio, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Stevenson brings more than 25 years of senior international leadership experience driving growth, transformation, and execution in highly regulated global consumer markets, spanning both East and West Europe through the Americas. Throughout his career in global cannabis, tobacco and pharmaceutical businesses, he has demonstrated a unique and proven ability to build demand, scale operations, and lead complex organizations in environments in which traditional, fast-moving consumer goods strategies are constrained or unavailable.
Michael DeGiglio commented, "Brian brings a very rare combination of multinational operating discipline, entrepreneurial execution, and deep expertise in regulated markets which will be invaluable to our team as we continue expanding around the world. The creation of this role and Brian's appointment underscore our commitment to disciplined global expansion and long-term value creation in regulated cannabis markets, and we look forward to Brian's contributions."
