I am an experienced Marketing professional with 20+ years of creating branding experiences that take your products off the shelf and into the hands of your customers at retail locations and events nationwide. I have spent the last 10 years in the cannabis industry from seed to sale. I have built trade marketing programs, retailer tool kits, brand ambassador teams of 50+ trained staff and produced 6 nationwide promotional road tours. Setting up brands for success through expansion is my expertise and passion. With my deep roots in the California cannabis industry and my strong network on the East Coast, I can help retain brand continuity and build retailer and consumer acceptance in expansion states with engagement, education and marketing. I am considered a self-motivated leader, a hard worker, and a successful producer. I enjoy working with a team cross functionally and can also proudly represent the company to clients and vendors. I already have volumes of SOPs for structure and procedure and successful methods of OKRs to motivate and track progress.I was part of the traditional cannabis market for several years from seed to sale. I joined the emerging legal cannabis start up market as the Event/Field Marketing Manager for Flow Kana and subsequently the Trade Marketing Manager at The Parent Company. I helped establish several internal operating systems for statewide growth, built a team of trained brand representatives, and produced events in markets statewide. I also produced a 20 x 40‘ booth for a major tradeshow activation.Helping to bring legal cannabis to people in California and eventually nationwide is some thing I can believe in and want to work for!
