• Proven success operating in regulated industries (Cannabis, FinTech, HealthTech, etc.) with a strong grasp of compliance frameworks.
• Deep experience leading cross-functional teams and driving strategic initiatives across B2B, B2C, or platform business models.
• Strong operational, analytical, and communication skills with a systems-thinking approach.
