Ms. Montenegro joins Indus’ leadership team following a successful tenure as Vice President of Commercialization, where she was responsible for planning and managing the timeline of launch of brand products into the market. This led the company stage gate process for the development of products in edible, topical, and extraction manufacturing of its THC and Hemp-CBD divisions. In addition, she served a critical role in shifting the company’s culture to one that is margin and KPI-driven.

She takes the time to understand the nuances of each department and helps implement solutions.” says Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Mark Ainsworth. “Her experience, drive and passion to understand each business unit gives her the ability to hold her team accountable in order to achieve our collective goals and I cannot think of anyone better suited for the position. I look forward to seeing Indus and its brands continue to grow and stay on track to profitability under Jenny Montenegro’s leadership.”

Prior to joining Indus, Ms. Montenegro served as the Founding Vice President of Consumer Packaged Goods and Operations where she developed a five-year strategic plan focused on establishing priorities and growth. She also aligned objectives and market potential, created annual operating and capital expenditure budgets, led implementation of their online business channel, and developed and executed marketing promotions to drive in house and online sales. In addition, Ms. Montenegro served as a buyer at Costco Wholesale after working her way through the ranks. During her tenure, she was responsible for buying, budgeting sales, and managing inventory, with over $1 Billion in annual sales in 53 Northern California locations.
