ASIF420 Welcomes Former Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health – Mr. Haim Ramon to Board of Advisors

ASIF420 Cannabis Ventures is pleased to announce that Mr. Haim Ramon has been appointed Chair of the Board of Advisors. Mr. Ramon will act as an observer to the Board as he and ASIF420 complete the standard Health processes associated with the appointment.

“It is my pleasure to welcome Mr. Haim Ramon as our Chair of the Board of Advisors and to welcome him to the Board,” said Tal Arbeli, CEO, ASIF420. “Ramon’s leadership experience in highly competitive industries and governments will be instrumental as we focus the business on its core priorities. Ramon’s contributions will be extremely valuable as we continue the journey of building iconic brands.”

“I’m honoured to be named the new Advisory Board Chair at ASIF420,” Ramon said. “During my time as Minister of Health of the state of Israel, I personally witnessed the unfolding of one of the most exciting market opportunities of our lifetime. I look forward to working with my fellow board members and the entire ASIF420 leadership team to help guide the company to lead in the emerging global cannabis industry.”

Ramon was appointed Minister of Health in the government of Yitzhak Rabin in 1992 where his major achievement was the promotion of the new National Health Insurance Law. In February 1994, he resigned from office, over the failure of the Labor Party to support the proposed health law, which also required breaking the linkage between the Labor Party-affiliated Histadrut Labor Federation and the Clalit Health Service Fund. In a dramatic speech at a party gathering he compared the party members to beached whales and resigned his position. However, Ramon kept advocating for the law even after his resignation and it was finally passed by the Knesset in the summer of 1994.
