Financier to
Cannabis Operator

My name is Ryan Mao and my journey into the Cannabis industry began in 2019 on the Banking & Venture Capital side. As the industry matured, I developed a desire to learn how to operate one of these businesses. Today, I am a C-Suite Executive at a Vertically Integrated Multi State Operator with expertise spanning cultivation, manufacturing, retail, and corporate strategy. 

Prior to joining the Cannabis industry, my experience was primarily in banking, consulting, and advisory. I believe the insights offered take into account the harsh realities of operating a business in the space combined with institutional perspectives gained from a prior life.
