LONDON — European medical cannabis company Crucial Innovations Corp. appointed Rory Bowen to its board of directors, effective immediately.
Bowen is a seasoned executive, investor and strategist with experience spanning finance, technology and global innovation. He currently serves as Chief of Staff at Hermitage Holdings, a global investment company; Principal and Founder of Circus Capital; Principal at Outsize Capital; and Non-Executive Director at Kadoma Mining PLC.
Bowen brings multidisciplinary expertise in corporate finance, capital markets and governance. He has worked alongside CEOs, boards and senior leadership teams to implement high-impact operational frameworks that balance innovation with disciplined execution.
Adding Bowen to the Board as an independent director is reflective of the Company’s intention to meet Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards by having a majority of independent directors on the Board.
Bowen began his career in financial markets with Moneycorp and Compagnie Financière Tradition (Tradition UK), before transitioning into strategic leadership at FinTech Alliance, an organization established in partnership with the UK Department for International Trade. There, he helped shape the UK’s national FinTech growth and investment agenda, representing the British Government on international trade missions and engaging with global policymakers.
His subsequent leadership roles across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East have provided him with cross-cultural insight into emerging markets, M&A strategy and regulatory navigation.
