Chief executive Matthew von Teichman noted Jackson has overseen a number of acquisitions, which included US-based Galaxy Nutritional Brands, the owner of the Go Veggie brand, and wished him success in his future role. 

“Since 2017, we have completed three acquisitions and more than doubled our revenue run rate, greatly expanding the scale and opportunities for our business,” von Teichman said. “We’re excited about our next phase of growth and look forward to announcing our successor in due course.”   

For the nine months to 31 December, GreenSpace reported gross revenue climbed to CAD46m (US$35.8m) from CAD29m a year earlier. Meanwhile, its net loss narrowed to CAD1.5m from CAD2.5m
