Since 2012 I have been providing expertise on operational improvements, quality assurance and compliance requirements to cannabis operations . My work has resulted in: + 2 Million Square Feet of cultivation permits in California to date +10 International license acquisitions during my tenure as International Compliance Director with a Canadian Public Issuer + Creation of a first to market cannabis Emoji app with over 1 million mobile to mobile impressions across 27 countries. + Operational Management of 30,000 autoflower plants in Humboldt, CA My experience has shown me that proven methods and systems work; ones that have been developed effectively through years of implementing efficient and repeatable operations, based on defined quality principles, from small scale to commercial operations. I have seen facilities through the lens of auditing existing procedures, as well as through the lens of implementing new systems from scratch. My work on multiple technical advisory committees has helped me understand the best practices being implemented, and the landscape of future trends related to quality assurance standards, food safety practices, and cannabis operations. I help save clients time and money on operations, both pre-op during permit acquisition and post-op through quality assurance system implementation.
