Cooper is president and CEO of Truss Beverages, a joint venture between Hexo and Molson-Coors.<\/p>\n
Hexo says Cooper will head both companies for an interim period of up to six months to ensure a smooth transition.<\/p>\n
The appointment comes as Hexo completes a strategic reorganization that saw co-founder Sebastien St-Louis, who was also CEO, leave the company this week.<\/p>\n
