Industry Experience

⁍ Experience Where It Matters

I've worked inside commercial cultivation businesses, from ornamental horticulture and large-scale cannabis to a two-million-square-foot hydroponic vegetable greenhouse.

Today, I advise CEOs and business owners on the decisions that determine whether cultivation businesses succeed.

My role isn't to make your decisions for you. It's to help you see the situation more clearly, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions faster.

I've worked inside commercial cultivation businesses and solved the kinds of challenges that are difficult to appreciate from the outside.
