Mr. Rosenberg is a seasoned corporate executive with a proven track record in global foodservice and other product distribution and executive leadership. Josh led the successful buyout of Accent Food Services and transitioned the enterprise to private equity ownership and management, ultimately spearheading a major strategic shift in customer strategy and company culture which resulted in Accent progressing from a single state operator to one of the largest multi-state operations in the Unattended Retail Industry.

Mr. Rosenberg was also an Executive in the Coca-Cola System, where he led a non-traditional route to market for the foodservice division of the Coca-Cola Company after heading their $700 million, multi‐channel business. Over a progressive 18 year career, Josh rose through the ranks of the Coca Cola System, starting as a merchandiser and holding roles in sales, operations, commercial strategy, and call center management. 

Josh holds a Marketing degree from Madison University, completed the KPMG QuantumShift ‘Most Promising Top 40 Entrepreneurs Program’, as well as the ‘Power of Listening Leadership Program’ at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and Cornell University. Josh’s honors include being named the National Automatic Merchandising Association's (“NAMA”) ‘2016 Person of the Year’ and Automatic Merchandisers’ Magazine’s ‘2015 Pro to Know’.

Josh serves on several Boards of Directors, including NAMA as Chair Elect, United Strategies Group as Executive Director, and, previously, Accent Food Services as CEO/Chairman. 

“I look forward to bringing my experience from the food services and mass distribution industry to provide strategic guidance to the team at Chemesis,” said Josh Rosenberg. “As the Cannabis industry evolves in the United States and globally, distribution and penetration into micro-markets will be at the fore-front of accessing the consumer base. The Company has been able to assemble an incredible portfolio of assets and I look forward to adding a global strategy to the vision.”

“Mr. Rosenberg brings incredible skills, including distribution, business management, new market penetration, and product development knowledge and expertise,” said CEO, Edgar Montero. “The remarkable experience he brings will continue to allow Chemesis to grow its business as a multi-state operator in the United States, gain distribution and penetration to markets which are currently untapped.”

Mr. Rosenberg will be granted 250,000 stock options under the terms of the Company’s share-based compensation plan.
