“I’m excited to join the SLANG Worldwide family, known for their legacy of high-quality products and innovation,” Tabsh said. “I’m eager to focus on accelerating consumer reach to SLANG’s superior product portfolio through strategic marketing efforts, as well as outlining a clear winning strategy for retail and expanding our footprint through effective distribution with our partners across North America.”

I am thrilled to welcome Hilal to the SLANG executive team. His deep experience, and success, in brand building, sales, marketing and growing distribution channels will be invaluable as we grow our business. Now that many of our recent acquisitions are nearing full integration, his skillset will be a tremendous benefit as we now look to rapidly scale distribution into multiple new markets.”
