Dietrich said he believes the company he founded in 2013 has potential to become a market leader in the cannabis industry — especially in what could be a colossal market in California. However, he doesn’t believe MassRoots could succeed under the guidance of the current trio of directors and interim CEO. “History has proved that when a founder is removed from a company, typically it loses its vision and its drive going forward,” Dietrich said. “I truly feel that if we make this change, we’re going to be in a position to dominate California.” In initiating the proxy fight, Dietrich is seeking to replace three board members: Terence Fitch, a former beverage industry executive who logged two decades at Coca- Cola; Vincent “Tripp” Keber, the chief executive of cannabis-infused- products company Dixie Elixirs; and Ean Seeb, co-founder of con- sulting firm Denver Relief LLC. Keber and Seeb have held their seats since 2014. Fitch has served as a MassRoots director since 2015. Dietrich’s suggested replacement board includes himself as well as Charles R.
