Bio
Stefan Lemperle MD, Ph.D., MBA
In all honesty- Sara was the best Director of Business Affairs one could wish for. She was the #3 employee at Artes Medical when we were a small start-up and was instrumental in building the Company all the way to its IPO with 150 employees. She managed over 950 private investors and supported everyone in the Company with her tremendous skills ranging from financial, Sarbanes Oxley compliance to IT. I hope we will have the pleasure to work together again soon. Couldn't find a more qualified and pleasant person to be around.

Sep 2017 - Mar 2022
Mindset Organics was created to bridge the gap between traditional cannabis users and the new normal brought on by the tide of legalization. Our founders came from the pharmaceutical industry. Disheartened by some of the practices of big pharma, we decided to leave the pharmaceutical industry and embrace our passion for cannabis.With hearts of hippies, minds of scientists and the discerning taste of gourmet chocolatiers, we aim to lift the stigma long associated with Mother Earth’s most loving plant. Peace, Love & Happiness.
