PRESS RELEASE
Corser-Jensen and Wilson Add Extensive Strategic and Operations Expertise to Canna Advisors’ Client Services
BOULDER, CO. – Apr. 16, 2018 – Industry-leading cannabis business consulting firm Canna Advisors today announced it is expanding its already robust business service offerings with two new key hires — Sue Corser-Jensen as vice president of operations and Luke Wilson as director of field operations.
Long recognized as an industry leader in successful license applications, Canna Advisors has built on that 
foundation to become one of the most comprehensive consulting partners in cannabis. With Corser-Jensen and Wilson, the firm adds decades of experience in business design and strategy to serve every phase in a client’s life cycle.
“At Canna Advisors, we have a proven track record of helping businesses achieve long-term success by going above and beyond the industry standard,” said Canna Advisors co-founder Diane Czarkowski. “As we expand our business services and continue to build the industry, Sue and Luke are the perfect leaders to grow that record of excellence.”
Corser-Jensen and Wilson will oversee and grow a Canna Advisors team dedicated to comprehensive client partnership through every stage of growth. From startup business plans and financial models, to facility design and construction, to hiring and training staff, to optimizing operations and planning exit strategies, clients can rely on Canna Advisors’ 80+ years of cannabis industry experience to help them.
Corser-Jensen has more than 30 years of operations and consulting experience developing and optimizing businesses both inside and outside the cannabis industry. She has built enterprises from the ground up, designed
detailed strategic and tactical plans for customer growth, and managed extensive programs, including serving as the general manager for a $40 million EDS operation encompassing hundreds of employees and clients.
Wilson is a veteran of dozens of capital projects, developing and leading teams in every stage of facility planning, build-out, and startup, from bid evaluations to system installations and SOP development and implementation. During three years as director of engineering and startup operations for cannabis giant Privateer Holdings, Wilson managed the design, build, and operational startup of Tilray’s $30 million medical cannabis facility, only the second cannabis facility in the world to be cGMP-certified. He also oversaw the engineering and construction of a $3 million processing and distribution center in Santa Rosa, California.
“Everyone learns from experience,” said Wilson. “With every project I’ve managed, I’ve learned more about how to make the critical choices that save our clients money and make their investments pay off. With this Canna Advisors team as your partner, you won’t go down the same rabbit holes that trap everyone else.”
“Put simply, our goal at Canna Advisors is to serve as the industry’s most valued and trusted consultants for our clients during every stage of business,” said Corser-Jensen. “With the combined experience of the successful and growing Canna Advisors team, we have the experience and expertise to guide clients successfully through every challenge the cannabis industry throws their way.”
