The article in Yahoo! Finance entitled "The Brazilian who commands the first company authorized to sell medical marijuana in Brazil" highlights Heinz's immense success at HempMeds® as her dedication and hard work led her from a communications position to Co-CEO of the Company in just a few years. Throughout the article, Heinz explains her experience as a woman in an executive leadership position and how her personal connection to the Company's mission fuels her passion for her career.
"As a woman in an executive position, I plan on using my diverse experiences to continue to push for safe access to cannabidiol (CBD) for families in need and also the success of the Company as I already have for the past several years," Heinz said. "At HempMeds, hard work and passion are what make our leaders and, ultimately, what lead to the quality of our hemp-based CBD products."
Until recently, Heinz served as Vice President of HempMeds® Brasil. Heinz joined the Company in 2014 and with the help of numerous families using CBD, she helped pass legislation to get the Brazilian government to subsidize CBD for several indications. She was also able to grow the Company's sales in Brazil, successfully establish two HempMeds® Brasil offices, create a network of Brazilian doctors and medical professionals. In addition, she has partnered with several research organizations in Brazil to study the Company's CBD oil for safety and efficacy.
"Caroline has proven her ability to build valuable connections around the world and build successful sales operations from the ground up," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. "We are excited to see her featured in this prominent publication because she has created the CBD market in Brazil as it is known today from scratch and it's nice to be able to see her flourish in her new role."
