Gatineau cannabis company Hexo Corp. says its chief financial officer has resigned, effective immediately, after taking on the role in May.
Hexo CFO Michael Monahan says in a release that he has decided to resign because the job requires him to spend the majority of his time in Gatineau and Ottawa, which is not possible “given my family’s needs.”
He adds in a statement that he has had a “very rewarding time” at Hexo and will assist the company as a consultant to ensure a smooth transition. Hexo’s CEO announced that its vice-president of strategic finance, Stephen Burwash, has accepted the role of CFO.
