As a global citizen, I have lived in South Africa, Australia, Israel and the US where I was Head of Operations at Flow Kana, one of California's biggest cannabis distributors. Today, I live in Uruguay where, together with my wife and cofounder, Andrea Kruchik Krell, are pioneering a sustainable medical cannabis industry. We launched YVY Life Sciences in 2018 and co-founded CECAM, the chamber of medical cannabis companies in Uruguay.
My combined experience with tech startups, governments, NGO's and cannabis has given me a unique and all-round professional edge to foster innovation and collaboration. I am passionate about creating scalable social and environmental impact and making sure patients around the world, including myself, have access to natural and science backed cannabis medicines.
