I think what they're doing will probably be a better decision." Mark Zukelin became the sole chief executive and agreed to stay on until the board found a suitable replacement. He continued to man the helm through a troubled sea of subpar quarterly earnings and broader market challenges until Canopy's recruited a new CEO from Constellation's own leadership team. Rising star David Klein wields a Wall Street reputation for being an operating CFO and is a strong candidate for making the best of Canopy's size and global reach to increase earnings. "Canopy Growth sits at the forefront of one of the most exciting new market opportunities in our lifetime," said Klein. "Thanks to the efforts of Mark and the entire team at Canopy Growth, no company is better positioned to win in the emerging cannabis market. I look forward to working with the team to build on the foundation that has been laid, to develop brands that strongly resonate with consumers, and to capture the market opportunity before us.
