Sarasota, Fla (PRWEB) September 07, 2017 -- AltMed Enterprises, a fully integrated company that brings pharmaceutical industry precision to the development, production and dispensing of medical cannabis, announced today the appointments of Matthew Duffy as President and COO, and Mark Miller as CFO. Both executives have extensive knowledge of the medical cannabis and related industries.
New President Matthew Duffy will help AltMed accelerate its focus on bringing best-of-class products to market. Duffy has vast development-to-market experience beginning at Pfizer in sales, sales management and marketing. He subsequently led the efforts to bring several important new drugs to commercialization including Synagis (MedImmune) as head of marketing, and Cinryze (Lev Pharmaceuticals) as head of commercial operations (sales management, marketing, managed care, patient services, distribution, FDA advisory committee preparation). Additionally, Matt has 15 years of experience on Wall Street, as an investment banker, where he raised capital and executed business development deals for private and public companies, as a lead publishing equity research analyst and as a valued investor relations advisor.
"We couldn’t find a more qualified president than Matthew,” said Michael Smullen, CEO of AltMed. "His experience and successes in navigating the rigorous and complex path to commercialization in the pharmaceutical and healthcare arenas, as well as his extensive corporate finance experience, are a perfect match with our current priorities at AltMed."
New CFO Mark Miller has served on AltMed’s board for two years where he’s gained valuable medical cannabis industry knowledge. Combined with his more than 20 years’ experience with multiple companies as a VP, CFO, director of risk management, manager of financial reporting and additional management rolls (tax, insurance, human resources, safety, claims and mergers and acquisitions) Miller is a great fit for AltMed’s ambitious growth plans.
"Mark has a proven track record of helping to lead companies through expansions with diligent execution of procedures and policies that mitigate risk, create value and improve the efficiency of operations,” Smullen said.
The timing of these appointments coincides with both AltMed Arizona and AltMed Florida becoming fully integrated companies - from development to dispensing of medical cannabis products. AltMed Arizona’s first dispensary opened in August, 2017. Products are expected to be available for Florida patients in early 2018.
