ABOUT RISHABH MUDGAL
I’ve never just taken jobs—I’ve taken on missions.Whether guiding students across continents, crafting stories for Tinder, or curating cannabis experiences that feel like comfort—I’ve always gravitated toward places where empathy meets action.What began in student leadership has taken me from education to retail, from B2B chemical sales to cannabis culture—and every role I’ve held has had one thing in common: I was there to build and create meaningful impact which wasn’t there before.It started with AIESEC 🤝, where I first understood what people-powered leadership really looks like.Then came Tinder, where I gave the brand a voice that resonated—because even in tech, human connection matters. KeyMakers gave me space to connect and mentor. To unlock potential. To remind people their ideas mattered—sometimes before they believed it themselves.At Acumen Connect, I learned to pitch with purpose. I wasn’t just selling education—I was offering futures. Marketing, onboarding, strategy—it all came down to impact.Future Ready Minds 🧠 pulled me into classrooms—teaching kids resilience and curiosity. Growth, I realized, starts early—and with heart.Then the cannabis world bloomed :At Sunrise Cannabis, I entered a misunderstood space and helped make it safe, informed, and welcoming.At Botany Cannabis (Budtender & Keyholder), I wore every hat—educator, floor leader, team glue.West Coast Gifts gave me scale. As a Sales Enablement Specialist, I reached thousands of dispensaries—building CRM systems, driving leads, and bringing voice to product.At Value Buds, I maintain a steady pace—handling operations, escalations, and mentoring teammates in high-volume retail.And as a Assistant Manager at Botany, I lead from the front—managing staff, inventory, cash, menus, trend research, events, and retail culture.And in between it all—I sold eco de-icers at XYNYTH. Cold calls, warm relationships, and North American B2B sales that taught me structure and scale.My MBA from UCW stitched it all together. It didn’t teach me who I am—but it sharpened why I do what I do. I believe growth should feel human.🧩 Strategy is nothing without soul. And the best things I’ve built started from scratch—with curiosity, empathy, and a little chaos. Let’s connect.If you’ve read this far—maybe we’re building the same kind of story.
