Former
Barclays Investment Representative and Current Coatl Capital
Managing Director to Spearhead Company Growth and
Development
FAIR LAWN, NJ ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2014 AnythingIT
(OTCBB: ANYI) announces the appointment of Mr. Federico
Garza-Bueron to its Board of Directors. Mr. Garza-Bueron, who is
Founder and Managing Director of Coatl Capital, will bring his
experience in private banking, fundraising, and entrepreneurship to
bear in spearheading the growth and development of
AnythingIT/WeedHire.com as it expands into the legal Marijuana
employment marketplace.
Mr. Garza-Bueron’s investment firm holds an equity stake in a
company that specializes in wealth management, a field that he
prefers to call wealth optimization. Indeed, when he
managed assets for clients at Barclays Wealth, Mr. Garza-Bueron
brought in over $100 Million in investments to that firm.
Mr. Garza-Bueron began his career in finance as a Private Wealth
Manager with BBVA Bancomer in Monterrey, Mexico, where he managed
assets totaling $250 Million. After completing his MBA from the
Columbia Business School, he spent a decade raising capital for
entrepreneurial ventures and nurturing initiatives from startup to
profitability, primarily in Los Angeles and New York. He also
holds joint Bachelor’s degrees from Boston College and Universidad
Regiomontana in Monterrey, Mexico and serves as Event Co-Chair for
the Columbia Business School Private Equity Committee.
"We are truly excited to bring Mr. Garza-Bueron onto our team,”
stated David Bernstein, CEO AnythingIT/WeedHire.com. “His
experience in the capital markets and understanding of
entrepreneurs will be invaluable as we bring WeedHire.com to the
forefront of the legal marijuana employment marketplace."
WeedHire.com will address the underserved market for employer
and employee candidates to connect within the legal Marijuana
industry. As marijuana legalization continues to move forward
and as businesses continue to grow in markets where marijuana is
already legal, career opportunities are expected to expand
rapidly.
"This is an industry that is here to stay- indeed, to grow,"
said Mr. Garza-Bueron regarding the legal cannabis business.
"It is not my place to pass judgment about it, but to support
our Directors’ efforts to increase value for shareholders.
Anything IT/Weedhire.com will help businesses in the industry and
professionals seeking jobs in a wide range of legitimate capacities
to find each other safely, efficiently, and without
prejudice. This is a service that adds value to any
industry."
Mr. Garza-Bueron’s expectation regarding growth is
well-founded. According to new financial data released in the
2014 edition of the Marijuana Business Factbook, U.S.
retail cannabis sales will rise more than five-fold over the next
five years, from an estimated $2.2-$2.6 billion in 2014 to $7.4-8.2
billion in 2018.
