In the cannabis industry, difficult decisions and strategic curveballs are a daily reality. With almost 20 years of experience in cannabis and operations, Coldwater Consulting has the practical knowledge and keen insight that businesses need to compete and succeed in America's fastest-growing new sector.
ABOUT COLDWATER CONSULTING
As the world’s largest adult-use cannabis market took shape, the founder recognized a growing need for operational guidance informed by long-term industry leadership. There are many consultants offering their services to cannabis businesses, but in a space so new, few can offer working knowledge of the space. In an industry where the old corporate playbook doesn’t apply, experience is invaluable.
Coldwater uses on-the-ground knowledge and long-term perspective to help a new generation of cannabis businesses succeed in a landscape filled with difficult decisions and strategic curveballs. With the strategic guidance of the acumen entrepreneur and operations leader Jaime Lewis, Coldwater supports the success of cannabis industry operators at all stages of growth from pre-licensing to expansion and exit. The consultancy leverages first-hand industry insight, deep knowledge of the regulatory and corporate factors shaping the cannabis space, and an extensive network of proven professional resources.
