Cannabis Retail Executive at Kush Groove & Entrepreneur In Residence at Tufts University in Boston, MA Looking to scale your business or personal brand? My team at Kush Groove has nurtured a multimillion-dollar brand, grounded in community engagement and social equity, with a strong presence in Massachusetts' cannabis market, having established ourselves in the market in 2011. We've successfully expanded our retail operations, emphasizing quality products and economic opportunities for the community. As a co-founder and CMO, my role has pivoted on strategic marketing and fostering a customer-centric experience that aligns with compliance and industry standards. Beyond cannabis, my experience as an Entrepreneur in Residence at Tufts University reinforces a commitment to mentorship and developing entrepreneurial programming. Collaborating with faculty, staff, and students, we're cultivating a vibrant ecosystem for innovation. This dedication complements my leadership at Fresh Pond Tea Company, where I curate fine teas, infusing retail with passion and a narrative that resonates with connoisseurs and novices alike. Feel free to send me a message regarding your goals and I'll let you know if I can help. Lastly, part of our conversation is a commitment on me to connect you with someone in my network who will take the conversation a bit further. Peace.
