Schroeder brings significant executive-level experience in multiple international sales organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlake has tremendous pedigree in the direct selling space as well as the world of natural products,\u201d states Dr. Stuart W. Titus<\/a>, CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:MJNA) the parent company of Kannaway.\u00a0\u201cHis proven track record and leadership experience makes him an ideal candidate to bring forth the promise of Kannaway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before joining Kannaway, Schroeder was the Chief Operating Officer of Forevergreen International, where he was responsible for global operation of the multinational organization, including oversight of a global supply chain. He holds a B.S. in Finance from Utah State University and a law degree from Syracuse University College of Law.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy career has been in marketing natural products, and opening international marketplaces to those products,\u201d Schroeder said when asked about the strengths and experiences that will make him a valuable asset to Kannaway.\u00a0\u201cKannaway is a company with incredible natural products that can and should be marketed and sold, and more importantly, consumed, all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schroeder continues, \u201cI was invited to spend time with the management of Kannaway\u2019s parent company, and after a few visits I was crystal clear about the vision and passion behind the company, as well as the opportunity to lead in an emerging space. The choice was simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve helped direct sales organizations flourish throughout my career. The Kannaway story needs to be shouted from the rooftops, all over the world. I will help the company develop an inclusive message that can attract people of all types,\u201d concludes Schroeder.<\/p>\n

Titus continues, \u201cAs Blake got to know our executive team, and vice versa, it was obvious there was great chemistry. We look forward to Blake making a huge impact in 2016 and beyond!\u201d<\/p>\n
