Former Albertson’s chief administrative officer and Schwazze CEO Justin Dye is among the most accomplished mainstream executives in cannabis. For this week’s Power Players interview, I spoke to him about deals that didn’t happen, the company’s stock and why he says vertical integration makes sense. (This is a departure from recent Power Player Rob McPherson, who said it doesn’t.)
Dye says: “As the industry continues to mature over the next several years, I think you’ll see more and more standardization and probably less variation in quality, but right now we want to be vertically integrated to control the supply chain. I’d be happy to debate that.”
