CubicFarm Systems Corp. has announced key leadership changes; appointing John de Jonge as interim CEO of CubicFarms and president of HydroGreen following the departure of prior interim CEO Edoardo De Martin at CubicFarms and of former president Dan Schmidt at HydroGreen. Edoardo De Martin will remain in an advisory role through the end of January 2023.
