And we’ve been very impressed with them. And we’ve been working on this deal for almost a year. When you get involved, it takes you everywhere.” Gardner’s role as a serial entrepreneur, advisor and investor in sports and entertainment goes back 30 years.
House of Kush co-founder and CEO said: Reggie Harris“Having the opportunity to get there early in our growth strategy not only improves our standing as an American company, but also puts us in a game where everyone can spread their knowledge and their products and get out of it. yes [it’s as much of an] It’s also an economic benefit, so the two kinds go together. Neither is missing. ” Harris’ career as a senior executive in sports and entertainment dates back 20 years.

Clever Leaves footprints are all over the world, but each facility has a unique purpose. “He has two facilities, one in Colombia and one in Portugal. Julian Wilches, Co-Founder and Chief Regulatory Officer of Clever Leaves. “The Portuguese facility is focused on flowers. And in Colombia, the Colombian facility has been focused on extracts, raw materials, and finished products such as oils.

We believe in working together to build long-term relationships to enter the market for the long term with truly high-quality, superior products.”
