NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jun 28, 2016) - DigiPath, Inc. (OTCQB: DIGP), an independent cannabis lab testing and media firm, is pleased to announce that Mr. Joseph J. Bianco's role with the Company has been expanded with his appointment to serve as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Bianco will also continue to serve as the Company's Chairman of the Board.

"As we build DigiPath into a market leader in cannabis lab testing, we knew that it was time to take the next step to accelerate organic growth and pursue targeted, strategic opportunities," said Mr. Denkin. "Having known Joe for many years, and after working closely with him over the last several months in his capacity as Chairman of the Board, I am excited that he has agreed to further his commitment to our Company as its CEO. I will of course remain deeply involved with every aspect of DigiPath as President and Chief Operating Officer, and as President of DigiPath Labs. We're proud of what we've built in Nevada and now with Joe on board as CEO we will continue our efforts to expand the DigiPath brand as planned."

Mr. Bianco has been a highly successful entrepreneur for more than 40 years. After graduating from Yale Law School and teaching law for several years, Mr. Bianco founded British Performance Cars, Inc., the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Lotus Marque, which was eventually sold to General Motors. Subsequently, he formed Alliance Entertainment Corp., which was listed on the NYSE and was then the largest independent distributor of recorded music in the world. Alliance, which was eventually sold to a private equity fund, was the product of a "roll-up" of over a dozen smaller companies.

Mr. Bianco has been the Chief Executive Officer of Whyte Lyon & Company, Inc. since 1984. Mr. Bianco also currently serves as Chairman and CEO of Oak Tree Education, and is also a Director and the Chairman of SkinScience Labs, Inc. and Experiential Teaching Online, Inc. (XTOL), which develops college and graduate-level online courseware.

Mr. Bianco stated, "I have built a successful career in spotting opportunities for strategic growth and consolidation in markets that are highly fragmented. The lab-testing sector within the cannabis industry, and in the much larger pathology/toxicology industry, are examples of such highly fragmented markets. Todd has built a 'best in class' testing facility in Las Vegas and we now plan to duplicate his efforts around the country. I look forward to continue working with him and his remarkable team to pursue these opportunities and drive shareholder value."
