Both cannabis and nutrition are global consumer product industries that hinge on value-added, differentiated and science-based products and Graham's proven expertise will be invaluable in supporting Neptune's leading capabilities in this regard," said Jim Hamilton, President and CEO of Neptune. 

"Science is key to the development of effective condition-specific cannabinoid products for medical, wellness and lifestyle consumers. I am excited to join Neptune, whose long-standing experience in the health and wellness consumer product sector makes it ideally positioned to thrive in the global marketplace as the cannabis and the health and nutrition markets become increasingly intertwined", said Wood.
