CEO
Canopy Growth
Canopy Growth burst onto the scene last year as cannabis companies established themselves in preparation for the legalization of marijuana. While many companies have since sputtered, Canopy has flourished. Under the leadership of CEO Bruce Linton, Canopy remains one of the top stocks in the industry, thanks to its partnerships and expansion.
In May 2018, Canopy became the first cannabis firm to trade south of the border on the New York Stock Exchange. Three months later, Canopy announced that Constellation Brands was planning to invest $5 billion in the grower. The latest news came in April 2019, as Canopy announced its expansion with a facility in Kirkwood, New York, furthering its footprint as it looks to dominate the cannabis industry not only in Canada, but internationally.
