We learn, grow, innovate and evolve through failure. As painful as that may be, it's often the most direct path towards understanding ourselves, how we work and how we best relate to others. The core skills that make us successful in business are agnostic of a specific industry or technology. Rather, they are cultivated through enriching career experiences that help us understand what a healthy organization looks like, operationally, financially and culturally. I've taken the time throughout my career in business operations, government consulting, engineering and sales to cultivate these experiences often through trial by fire. As an experienced senior leader in operations for both established industry powerhouses and scrappy startups, I'm focused on bringing standardization, GMP, innovation, cultural health, smart/scalable growth and continuous improvement practices to the cannabis industry.
