Shaping the Future of Cannabis Leaders

I help executives and teams find career clarity, and become trailblazers who will propel the industry forward.

Hi! I’m “KMesh”

As a former partner of the country's leading search firm for 6 -figure cannabis talent, I've placed over 100 executives into leadership roles for licensed and ancillary operators nationally.

So, I know what happens in the room where cannabis professionals are hired better than virtually anyone in the industry. And I have experience in finding executive/company fits that lead to mutual satisfaction and success.

My goal is to provide coaching and consulting that support the resiliency of cannabis professionals and companies. And help shape the future of cannabis for the better.

Cannabis Needs Leaders

After 5 years of my own journey as a talent and recruitment professional 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 talent who are suffering with burnout, confusion and frustration with the roller coaster ride of the startup cannabis industry. 

I will help you understand yourselves and the industry more clearly to regain clarity, purpose and motivation. And create a career that sets you on a course to success and fulfillment.

My Cannabis Career Clarity Framework helps you go from feeling frustrated, disillusioned, and uncertain if you should stay in the industry….

To having a clear vision of your ideal cannabis journey, the tools needed to make it happen, and the confidence to take your next steps.

Career Coaching

I work intensively with executives and entrepreneurs to help them envision their ideal career and develop a strategy for making it a reality. I do this through one-on-one coaching sessions, group coaching cohorts, and an active private online community powered by my proprietary Cannabis Career Clarity Framework.

Talent Strategy

I help companies attract, develop, and retain strategic talent who are a perfect fit for cannabis. I do this by collaborating with the leading recruiters and HR consultants in the industry. The goal is to ensure your company designs and implements a robust talent strategy that aligns with the unique, emerging nature of the space.

Industry Advocacy

We’re at a critical time in our industry’s growth. With so much on the line, it’s crucial industry change makers and leaders stay connected and aligned. To that end, I offer advocacy that ranges from public speaking engagements to facilitating discourse and supporting industry-building initiatives.
