Trulieve Announces Retirement of President Steve White

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Oct. 2, 2023 /CNW/ -- Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) ("Trulieve" or "the Company"), a leading and top-performing cannabis company in the United States, today announced Steve White is stepping down as the Company's President, effective as of October 1, 2023. Mr. White will continue to serve as a strategic advisor to the Company until his anticipated retirement at the end of this year.

Mr. White co-founded Harvest Health & Recreation ("Harvest") in 2011 and served as its Chief Executive Officer until the acquisition of the company by Trulieve. As an early pioneer in the U.S. legal cannabis industry, Mr. White led Harvest as it grew from a single dispensary to become one of the top multi-state operators with cultivation, manufacturing, and retail operations in several markets. Following the Harvest acquisition, Mr. White was appointed President of the Company.

"We thank Steve for his service as our President," said Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve. "He has played a key role in the success of the integration of Harvest operations with those of Trulieve, and is stepping down as of the second anniversary of our historic acquisition."

"It has been an honor to work with the talented and passionate teams at Harvest and Trulieve, joined together by the common goal of serving patients and customers through expanded access to cannabis," said Steve White. "I am so proud of all that we have accomplished together and I am excited for the Trulieve team and the many opportunities ahead."
