Client Testimonials
-
Arana Hankin Biggers, President and Co-Founder, The Travel Agency
“KMesh first entered our organization just as we were getting our license when the program opened up and in the midst of rapid growth.
We had spent very little time and resources on developing a healthy company culture. Employees were not happy because they did not feel seen or heard, poor leaders were in roles that they could not manage, and cross-departmental communication was non-existent. All of these things were negatively impacting company performance.
KMesh was able to get to the root of all of these issues and put in place systems and processes so that we could become a much more effective organization, one that now has the ability to reach our revenue goals! We will forever be grateful for the incredible work she did for our company.”

Andrew Varela, Director of Cultivation, Jushi
“Karen was so fun and easy to work with! KMesh Cann not only took my resume to the next level, but taught me how to be confident in my experience in this industry and be proud to represent it the way the program encourages! This is the most active period of my career in terms of opportunities dangling, and I have KMesh Cann to thank for that!
I would highly encourage anyone looking for that next big step in their career to give this a shot!”

Heather Louviere, Director of Operations, Jungle Boys
"Working with KMesh was a transformative experience that reshaped my career trajectory. Through insightful coaching sessions, KMesh challenged me to reflect deeply, enabling me to articulate my vision with authenticity and confidence, which I know was instrumental in helping me secure the position of Director of Operations at one of Florida's premier cannabis operators.
I wholeheartedly recommend KMesh to anyone seeking to elevate their leadership journey."
