PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: POTN ) (the “Company”) announced today that Kevin Hagen, President of its subsidiary, First Capital Venture Co., owner of Diamond CBD, Inc., has been appointed as new Chief Executive Officer effective immediately.

Kevin Hagen, new CEO, stated, “We want to thank Dr. Goulding for meeting the considerable demands in the past of being both our CEO, and Chairman of our medical advisory board. We are certain that as Chief Medical Officer, he will assist us in navigating the complexities we face with our new hemp-derived CBD product initiatives, as he works with our other advisory doctors, scientists and specialist legal counsel.” He added, “Since early 2017 we have been building our brand, consumer base, and product line. As we close 2018 and enter 2019, we plan to become a more robust company, with solid distribution and sales, upon which we can continue to build more brands and penetrate more markets.
