The chief operating officer and general counsel of MedMen Enterprises have both resigned amid a broader employee shakeup at the American marijuana retailer.
Chief Operating Officer Ben Cook and General Counsel Lisa Sergi Trager — who also served on the company’s board — have quit, a source familiar with the matter tells CNBC. Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications Daniel Yi has also resigned.
Some members of the company’s design and technology teams were also let go as the company tries to makes itself more efficient under CEO Adam Bierman.
Cook, Trager and Yi did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment. MedMen confirmed the resignations of Cook and Trager later Friday morning in a press release.
“We appreciate the contributions of all current and former MedMen team members as we work to build the world’s leading cannabis company, and I have the utmost confidence in the management team. Their expertise, skill set and experience sets the standard of excellence for the industry,” Bierman said in the release.
