HempStreet is not resting in their pursuit of disrupting the $7 billion global medicinal cannabis industry with forward-looking IP and tech, world-class product innovations and a robust R&D mechanism as the brand recently announced the appointment of Wilson Kello as a member of their advisory board. The company is India's first and largest research-to-retail venture in the medicinal cannabis space and has witnessed tremendous growth in recent times for their range of groundbreaking solutions.
“We are elated to have Wilson join our advisory board. With his experience and past involvement with some of the top players in the hemp/cannabis sector and beyond, we look forward to his guidance as HempStreet goes next level,” said Abhishek Mohan, Founder of HempStreet.
Wilson Kello has also expressed his excitement at joining the team of forward-thinking professionals at HempStreet. “Abhishek and his team have created something unique and robust with HempStreet. Their focus on integrity, wellness, and the rich history of cannabis in the Ayurvedic tradition set them well apart from the competition. Judging by their success and rapid scaling in India, I believe the stage is set for HempStreet to be a leading global cannabis biotech firm by 2025. I am honored to be part of that journey,” said Wilson Kello.
HempStreet has grown in leaps and bounds in a relatively short while, emerging as the largest research-to-retail medical cannabis company in India. The company works closely with leading scientists to advance cannabis-based medicinal remedies for common ailments that currently affect over 300 million people in India, and billions globally. The “Made In India” brand currently has 16 approved products in the marketplace, and a network of over 43,000 medical practitioners and clinics across the country, setting new global benchmarks for the medicinal cannabis industry.
The expertise of Wilson Kello will undoubtedly be an asset to HempStreet. Wilson has deep experience brand-building across a range of durable goods and CPGs, as well as the development and implementation of strategy for fast-scaling disruptive startups. His appointment is in line with the company’s vision of emerging as the Indian flag-bearer in the global medical cannabis market.
In Wilson’s recent role as CMO of Collective Growth Corporation, a Nasdaq-listed SPAC founded by legal cannabis pioneers Bruce Linton and Geoff Whaling, he was responsible for strategy, marketing, business development, and content creation. Prior to that, he advised the top management at Canopy Growth Corporation on the brand direction for a range of consumer-facing products. The High Honors graduate in English Literature and Art History from Swarthmore College believes in shaping powerful narratives through learned experiences and other creative story-telling techniques that resonate with consumers and businesses.
