Cannabis Needs Leaders.
I’m an executive coach, talent & culture strategist, and team builder focused on the legal, emerging cannabis industry.
I bring 6 years of executive search, thought leadership and business strategy to help executives and companies gain the clarity and confidence to propel the industry forward.
I’m “KMesh” (Kay-Mesh)
Since 2019, I've had the opportunity to hire over 100 executives at the Manager, Director, VP and C-Levels into leadership roles for cannabis startup licensed operators and ancillary businesses nationally.
So, I know what happens in the room where cannabis professionals are hired. I also understand the many challenges that teams face once leaders are hired.
My goal is to support the advancement and resiliency of cannabis companies and to help shape the future of cannabis for the better.
Cannabis Needs Leaders
After 6 years as a talent, team- builder in this burgeoning space, I’m convinced of this:
If we are to build a thriving, successful industry...
Cannabis Needs Leaders.
And those leaders need support.
Every day I meet incredible, tenacious executives and entrepreneurs who need help navigating their next steps— whether it’s moving into a new role, or coaching a division or team to greater cohesion after an M&A transaction.
I can help you better understand your place in the industry and develop clarity, purpose, and motivation so you can move powerfully toward your goals.
My Cannabis Ikigai framework helps you go from feeling frustrated and uncertain about your next move…
To having a clear vision of your cannabis career path, the tools needed to make it happen, and the confidence to take your next steps.

Talent Strategy
I collaborate closely with the industry's leading recruiters and HR consultants to find talent solutions for emerging operators and ancillary companies.
In partnership with these service providers, we can design and implement a robust talent strategy that aligns with the unique, emerging nature of the space.
Industry Advocacy
With so much change happening all the time, industry change makers and leaders need to stay connected and aligned.
To that end, I offer public speaking and panel facilitation to support industry-building initiatives for educational and credentialing institutions, business networking organizations, and social and racial justice initiatives.
