John Heller, chief financial officer of Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc., is leaving the company to accept an external opportunity. 

Interim Chief Executive Officer Josh Rosen will assume the additional role of interim chief financial officer, effective Sept. 30.

“We are sad to see John leave, but are grateful for his leadership and the contributions he made during his three-year tenure,” said Executive Chairman Kyle Kingsley. “John has helped us establish an excellent finance and accounting team which maintains exemplary financial controls and reporting practices. On behalf of our entire board and leadership team, we thank John and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

“The strength of the team John has established, combined with our increasingly less complex organization give us confidence that we can fulfill our CFO responsibilities with existing internal resources,” Rosen added. “We’re excited to see some of the talent that John helped develop take on greater responsibility including Joe Duxbury, Aaron Garrido, and Brandon Van Asten, who have been instrumental in supporting our push toward more decentralized operations.”
