First Colombia Development Corp. Appoints Blair Mullin as Chief Financial Officer

​​First Colombia Development Corp. (“FCOL”) (OTC:FCOL) today announced the appointment of Blair Mullin as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Mullin will assume CFO duties from Cindy Kelly, who has served in the position since 2011 and will be retained as a consultant through the end of July to assist with a smooth and efficient transition.

Most recently, Mr. Mullin has been primarily involved in consulting and interim CFO roles, with both public and private companies, in a wide variety of industries, in numerous capacities including turnarounds, startups, capital-raising, administration, governance, clean-up, infrastructure, business planning and accounting.

“We are delighted that Blair has agreed to join us as CFO of FCOL,” said Chris Hansen, founding CEO of FCOL. “He brings extensive experience in financial management roles with companies in diverse, multinational industries, including medicinal cannabis, through which he has developed high-level expertise in relevant areas, such as startups, capital-raising, business planning and more. These skills will greatly benefit FCOL as we grow and expand our business in the burgeoning medical cannabis market. We appreciate Cindy Kelly’s valuable service, and we wish her continued success with her administrative and management consulting firm.”

Blair Mullin stated, “I am extremely pleased to come aboard as FCOL’s CFO at this key inflection point, as FCOL embarks on the development of a nationwide network of medical marijuana dispensaries and related businesses in the United States, with a focus on both THC- and CBD-dominant cannabis manufacturing, distribution and sales. It is an exciting time in a promising sector, with a company with tremendous prospects and dynamic management team."
