Larry has 35 years' experience as a principal officer and director to many corporations in the medical industry, which ties in nicely into the CBD sector.

''Mr. Martin is a serially successful entrepreneur. I feel very fortunate to have him as an advisor to help Omni and PureKana reach the next level of growth,'' stated Anthony Srdanovic, Omni's CEO.

Mr. Gary Thompson is a top-level executive with a wealth of experience in founding companies, raising capital and growing shareholder value over his 28 years of experience.
