Bio
Rossana Gutierrez, MBA
Ken and I worked very closely together during our time at Canopy Growth (formerly Canopy Animal Health) developing and executing the go to market strategy for CBD chews for dogs for pet specialty retail. With a newly created brand and an ever-changing regulatory landscape, Ken was consistently working to bring education and nuanced information to our distribution and direct retail partners on how these products would strengthen their shelf sets. With a lean team, Ken managed the full scope of our sales initiatives and was highly collaborative among our cross functional partners. He is a strong leader and creative problem solver, with tons of industry knowledge who will always jump right in and go the extra mile to support the business. Ken is very smart yet humble, no task too big or too small when it benefits the big picture.

I worked with Ken at Blue Buffalo and we spent a lot of time with the customer and handling various projects. Ken has a very calm air about him and he brings that to the team as well. He and I worked on several marketing initiatives and he has knowledge about the account and how to work together with the customer. He does not mind jumping in to help where needed and likes to think about the big picture. He likes to have a fun while doing his job and doing it well.
