A Vast Network of Cannabis Consulting Professionals
One advantage I bring to my consultancy is my network. Owning and operating a globally recognized cannabis dispensary (Harborside) for 13 years gave me the opportunity to work with hundreds of diverse and talented people. As a strategic advisor, I now hand-pick the best of the best to call on when needed for my clients. The three cannabis consultants I include here are the people I work with most closely and consistently, but there are dozens more to choose from. I have a knack for recruiting and cultivating talent, and I’ve spent years organizing my network, which I believe is the greatest in the business.
