NATIVE ROOTS
I've known Lauren for over 4 years and have had
the honor of having been able to work with her for most of that time. Lauren is professional, efficient,
and talented, but above all else she is passionate
and driven to succeed. I've worked with many
people in my career but have never worked with anyone that is as excited, driven, and capable of supporting a business, a project, a team, or an individual in being stronger tomorrow than they
are today. She is a powerhouse that has worked in every facet of the Cannabis industry. I have
absolutely no doubt that having Lauren Ginsberg
on a project will add value and any additional
team she would be working with will be better
for that experience.
I had the opportunity to work closely with Lauren
at a mutual client, where she performed an assessment of a vertically integrated business including its overall strategy, processes, controls and key personnel. She quickly proved her
expertise in organizational design, logistics, and process standardization. Her recommendations aligned with the business strategy and enabled improvements in operating efficiency,
compliance and effectiveness.
Lauren brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm
to her engagements, along with a strong collaborative style. I would welcome the
chance to work with Lauren again and
recommend her highly.
Lauren Ginsberg is an exceptional consultant! From the moment both Northeast Alternatives and Limitless Groundwork signed the contract, Lauren went into "go mode". She is absolutely committed to her clients and demonstrates this commitment by completing her deliverables on time and at an exceptional level. First, let me describe the situation we were in when we hired Lauren. We were quickly approaching the Grand Opening of our first medical marijuana dispensary. While we have a great team, we were a little light on retail experience in the cannabis industry. Here is a short list of the significant contributions she made:
-
Provided a checklist of everything we would need to order.
-
Provided a checklist of everything that had to be done.
-
Took personal responsibility for completing many of the to-dos.
-
Provided coaching and lessons learned to all of us in the execution of tasks to get the store opened.
