Cann Group ( (AU:CAN) ) has issued an announcement.
Cann Group has announced a leadership change, with CEO and Managing Director Jenni Pilcher resigning effective immediately and transitioning to a consulting role to provide financial and strategic advice. Chairman Mike Ryan will step in as interim Executive Chairman while the board searches for a new chief executive, highlighting a period of managed transition at the top.
Pilcher joined the board in 2020 and was elevated to CEO in early 2024 to drive a major financial and operational restructuring. Under her leadership, the company cut debt from more than A$70 million to under A$15 million and reduced its annual cost base and EBITDA losses by over 60%, significantly strengthening the balance sheet.
Cann’s production facility has been optimised to deliver a sustainable 7–8 tonnes of trimmed dried flower annually, and the streamlined cost base has improved gross margins. Management says the group is now better positioned to pursue consolidation opportunities in the medicinal cannabis sector and accelerate revenue growth, signalling a shift from turnaround to expansion.
Ryan’s interim package as Executive Chairman includes a base fee of A$20,000 per month over an initial six-month term, replacing his previous non-executive chairman fee. A short-term cash incentive of A$80,000 is available subject to performance hurdles, aligning his remuneration with near-term execution of the company’s strategy during the CEO transition.
