Wishing Mr. Glen Ibbott greater responsibilities and exciting challenges in this impressive new chapter!
Rubicon Organics, a Canadian pioneer in certified organic and premium cannabis, has announced the appointment of Glen Ibbott as its Interim Chief Financial Officer. Ibbott, a renowned veteran in the cannabis and life sciences sector, formerly served as CFO of Aurora Cannabis and brings with him more than 25 years of expertise in steering complex financial operations for publicly listed companies.
This leadership change comes as Janis Risbin, the outgoing CFO, steps away from her full-time position. To ensure a seamless transition, she will remain in an advisory capacity over the coming months. Risbin has been an integral part of Rubicon since 2019, playing a vital role in the company’s evolution within the emerging cannabis landscape.
Welcoming Ibbott, Rubicon’s CEO Margaret Brodie shared, “Glen’s leadership at Aurora Cannabis helped to build one of the largest cannabis companies in Canada. His expertise comes at an important time for Rubicon Organics as we scale new capacity and explore new markets for our industry leading premium cannabis brands. His strategic insight and financial leadership will be instrumental as we navigate our next phase of growth and innovation.”
She also extended gratitude to Risbin, stating, “On behalf of our Board of Directors, and the entire Rubicon Organics team, I would like to offer our sincere thanks and appreciation to Janis. We have been fortunate to have her expertise over the years as we navigated this emerging industry. We wish her all the best for her future endeavours.”
Expressing his enthusiasm, Glen Ibbott said, “It’s an exciting time to join Rubicon Organics. The leading premium cannabis products with more demand than supply, new capacity coming on this year, and certifications in place for international expansion. I believe Rubicon has been a hidden gem in the financial markets that is now ready to shine with the best of the industry.”
Ibbott’s career includes high-impact roles at healthcare giants and his leadership at QLT Inc., where he guided a $500 million merger. Holding dual CPA credentials and MBAs from Cornell and Queen’s, Ibbott is poised to elevate Rubicon’s financial future.
Rubicon has also initiated a search for a permanent CFO, considering both internal and external candidates with strong financial credentials and cannabis sector insight.
