Leading the Charge
 

Ryan Brown's not your typical suit-and-tie guy. He's an outdoor enthusiast and an unapologetic optimist with a penchant for embracing challenges head-on. With an extensive background in the cannabis industry, Ryan served as the CEO for Colorado's largest privately held vertically integrated cannabis company, Native Roots, and helmed Groundworks Industries, a major vertically integrated player in Oregon. In these roles, he managed 50+ dispensaries, hundreds of thousands of sq ft of cultivation spaces, and manufactured and distributed millions of consumer packaged goods across some of the most competitive markets in North America, including Colorado, Oregon, California, and Canada.

​

But before his cannabis adventures, Ryan spent almost a decade honing his skills at management and technology consulting firms, namely RevGen Partners and Hitachi Consulting (now Hitachi Vantara). During this time, he emerged as a leader in business strategy, business process, and organizational design, helping mid and large-cap companies navigate challenges across a diverse range of industries.

​

If you're ready for a dose of optimism, a dash of adventure, and a partner to help you navigate your upcoming opportunity, challenge, or transformation, Sparc Advisory is where you want to be.
