Has anyone successfully transitioned from sales management in beer/spirits industry in to cannabis? I’ve seen a few roles I’d be qualified for in the Chicago area at Canopy Growth Corp and Cresco but haven’t had much activity on my apps without connections/referrals. Appreciate advice and/or connecting me to the company!

I guess not! Cannabis is very new so I’m not surprised. It was worth a shot.

I hear profits are high....

Sorry, amigo, I guess not many have worked in either industries.

I’ve recruited for the cannabis industry in a previous role and have helped people make this exact transition.

New to this app so not sure if you can DM but if you can DM me, happy to help.

So my company got acquired by a large corporation.
