About Leah Cerri

Cannabis marketing and event design leader with experience managing marketing projects that generate sales, build engagement and raise a brand\'s profile. Self-starter with strong business acumen and expertise to grow brands through solid strategies, creative campaigns, and engaging events. Before transitioning to the cannabis industry I worked in the nonprofit sector at the Director level leading Marketing, Events and a community engagement team. I designed events for corporate partners, donors and elected officials, and partnered with Fortune 100 companies to design their social impact events and initiatives. Some of the partnerships I developed and managed were with Facebook, Google, Wells Fargo, LinkedIn, Workday, Bank of America, and Chase Bank, to name a few.
