He also has a wealth of experience in the cannabis sector through previous roles with Creso Pharma, as well as California-based cannabis manufacturer and distributor Blooms Farms and Canada’s Supreme Cannabis Company, where he was responsible for product development, commercialisation initiatives, procurement, manufacturing operations and supply chain management.
