ABOUT JORDAN ISENSTADT

Senior Vice President at Marino, leading the firm’s Cannabis, Psychedelics & Emerging Industries practice, with a career that spans government, public affairs, nonprofit leadership, and high-stakes communications.Before entering PR, Jordan built his foundation in New York politics and policy, working for two Governors and two New York State Senators and later running a prominent nonprofit organization. That experience still shapes how he approaches communications today — with a deep understanding of how regulation, media, advocacy, and reputation intersect to influence outcomes in the real world.At Marino, Jordan advises cannabis operators, psychedelic medicine companies, higher-education institutions, labor organizations, and emerging brands on how to launch, scale, and lead in highly regulated and highly visible industries. His work includes supporting companies as they pursue and defend licenses, enter new markets, engage policymakers, attract investors, and build credibility with national and local media.Jordan also co-founded Jews in Weed, one of the most active professional communities in cannabis and emerging therapeutics, connecting founders, investors, operators, and advocates through events, media, and meaningful, relationship-driven programming.Across every sector, the work is the same: turning complex, regulated, and often misunderstood industries into clear, compelling stories that drive growth, legitimacy, and long-term value.Let’s build something dope.
