How Phoebe Finds Her Calm: Walking in nature with my dog, Muddy.
Phoebe is committed to establishing a leading, global cannabis brand that is the trusted partner on the journey to calm. Having recruited a diverse group of cannabis and consumer packaged goods experts throughout the country, she is working to redefine what a stereotypical successful cannabis brand looks like. Phoebe is creating Goddess Growers as a best-in-class template for cannabis consumer packaged goods that make women purchasers feel truly understood.
She has served the Illinois cannabis community through her service as a member of Chicago NORML, Illinois Women in Cannabis, Arcview Women’s Investor Network, and the University of Chicago Women’s Board, and holds certification in food protection management. She began her career in investment management, spending time on both the sell side and the buy side with Morgan Stanley and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, respectively followed by a decade as an antique furniture dealer. Phoebe has a B.A. in Economics and French from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. She lives in Chicago with her husband and three little girls.
