She will be focused on assisting the Company with its advocacy to various governmental and non-governmental organizations in Canada, surrounding new regulations and updates to the current laws governing access to natural health and wellness cannabidiol (CBD) based products.

As part of her distinguished background of accomplishments, she has served on the Board of Directors for Fraser Health, providing governance and vision for the largest health authority in British Columbia. Previously, Barinder has also served two terms as an elected Councillor for the City of Surrey, taking leadership roles in public safety and transportation.
A fierce advocate of women’s rights, Barinder is also the co-founder and Advisory Committee Chair for a unique series of conferences called “SheTalks”, featuring inspirational women who share stories of leadership, transformation, innovation, and how to succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. In addition, she is also leading the Cannabis Wise certification program, which is set to be a recognizable and trusted way for consumers to identify products that are created with quality control, legality, and responsible use in mind.
Marcos Agramont, CEO of Isodiol, stated: “Barinder is a respected industry professional with an impeccable reputation as someone who demonstrates leadership and reinforces the importance of community building and consensus among stakeholders. We welcome her to the team and look forward to her role in representing our Company’s initiatives and discussions with the federal and provincial governments and other industry associations in Canada.”
