GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRESS RELEASE -- KushCo Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Kush Supply Co., Kush Energy, The Hybrid Creative and Koleto Innovations, which provide a range of services and products for the regulated cannabis, CBD and other related industries, has announced it has added Danny Moses, a private investor and entrepreneur best known for his role as a trader navigating the global financial crisis as chronicled in Michael Lewis’s best-selling novel “The Big Short” and Adam McKay’s Oscar-winning movie of the same name, and Tim Seymour, chief investment officer of Seymour Asset Management, and best known as the co-host of CNBC’s Fast Money, to the company’s Advisory Board.

Most notably, he was a trader at Frontpoint Partners, a firm portrayed in both the book and movie "The Big Short.”
Seymour has over 22 years of investment experience as a capital markets professional across multiple asset classes and geographies. With a history of investing in new and emerging asset classes, Tim has been an early stage investor in the cannabis industry and acts in a formal advisory capacity to multiple companies in the sector. Tim has emerged as one of the top thought leaders and advocates for the cannabis industry. Seymour Asset Management manages cannabis assets for its clients as part of its overall asset allocation.
“Both Danny and Tim are invaluable resources to the KushCo Advisory Board with their distinct knowledge and experience. Danny is one of the most distinguished investors on Wall Street and will provide useful insights into our M&A and capital strategies. Tim, with his extensive background in international markets, will provide unique insight as we grow our footprint outside of the U.S. We look forward to leveraging both Danny and Tim as board advisors as we continue our record-breaking expansion,” said Nick Kovacevich, chief executive officer of KushCo.
