SmallCap Sentinel: From Harvard to Hemp, a Journey to Colombia
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 13, 2019 / In a recent interview, leading cannabis-testing lab and data firm Digipath Inc. (DIGP) CEO, Todd Denkin, expanded on his company's intent to build a presence in the Colombian cannabis market, a market that many believe will be among the most significant cannabis producers in the world.
Denkin's quote was as follows: ''About ten years ago when pot stocks first entered into the marketplace and cannabis stocks started appearing on NASDAQ, that had a huge impact on the stock market and had a huge impact on the economy. Well, we see Colombia affecting the cannabis market the same way cannabis affected the stock market.''
''Colombia is going to be a huge player and is already beginning large scale production.'' (Click here for the full interview)
Plainly put, Digipath isn't waiting around to secure its place in Colombia. The Company is aggressively pursuing opportunities in the South American nation, adding to its interests with a quality hire just yesterday. While most Americans won't know the name of the head of Digipath's new Colombian venture, his resume should certainly turn heads.
Jorge Restrepo's appointment on Monday provides Digipath with a tremendous advocate in his native nation of Colombia where he can leverage a lifetime of relationships to help install Digipath as a Colombian cannabis-testing leader. It is also imperative to note that the veteran Colombian agronomist adds to an already impressive c-suite of leadership inside Digipath a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Harvard University, The Kennedy School of Government.
It should say something, and not quietly, that a Colombian national, veteran agronomist, educated at arguably the finest school of its kind in the world is now Digipath's man in Colombia.
