(Dixie or the Company) (CSE: DIXI.U), one of the cannabis industry’s leading consumer packaged goods companies, has announced the hiring of two new marketing executives. Andrew Floor joins as Vice President of Marketing, Dixie Brands, and Hilal Tabsh joins as Vice President of Marketing and Distribution, Aceso Wellness.
“We are very pleased to welcome two individuals with the depth and breadth of skills that Hilal and Andrew bring to Dixie,” said Chuck Smith, President and CEO, Dixie Brands. “Both are accomplished sales and marketing executives whose experience with leading brands like Red Bull and Wild Turkey aligns directly with our goal of becoming the leading CPG company in the cannabis space.

Andrew Floor – Vice President of Marketing, Dixie Brands
Andrew Floor will lead the branding, marketing and portfolio expansion of the regulated THC product company. This includes all Dixie-branded products, the sub-brands Synergy, Mindset and Dr. Stash, as well as all new brands to be built and acquired under the THC umbrella. Dixie currently offers THC-infused products in four U.S. states with a fully-funded business plan to more than double that footprint in 2019.
Mr. Floor has extensive experience in the regulated alcohol industry, building leading brands through digital and consumer marketing.

Previously he was VP Marketing at Campari America’s Dark Spirits division, where he was instrumental in accelerating sales growth and consumer awareness of the Wild Turkey franchise. Mr. Floor also gained international experience through 10 years of sales and marketing roles in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Hilal Tabsh will lead the branding, marketing, portfolio expansion and development of global distribution channels for Aceso Wellness, Dixie’s leading hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) human dietary supplement company. The CBD wellness industry is expected to continue to experience rapid growth, enhanced by the legalization of hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Mr. Tabsh is a CPG sales and marketing executive with significant experience in the U.S. and globally. As EVP at Limitless Beverage, he helped establish the sales and marketing functions for the start-up company focused on unique drink platforms such as cold brewed coffee, matcha green tea and lightly caffeinated sparkling water.
