“The Cannabis 50 represents inspiring individuals and organizations that have impacted the cannabis and hemp sectors in positive ways.” says Scott Hammon, Leader of the MGO | ELLO Cannabis Practice

The MGO and ELLO Cannabis Practice, leaders in providing accounting, investment banking and consulting services to the cannabis industry, announced the launch of the “The Cannabis 50,” an industry review that highlights companies, organizations and people of varying backgrounds and expertise that are making a positive impact on the cannabis and hemp industries.

“The Cannabis 50” recognizes those that transformed, uplifted and inspired the growth and maturation of the cannabis industry with a focus on acts of impact in 2019. Honorees are highlighted across various categories, such as innovation in business /product development, social impact, activism or regulatory change, education, and cultural influence.

Kevin O’Connell, CEO of MGO says, “The list makers share a common thread. They are all advocates and leaders within the cannabis and hemp industries, pushing boundaries to increase legitimacy, reduce stigma, and help the maturation of the medical and adult-use markets, as well as the ancillary businesses needed to ensure that this sector flourishes.”

“2019 has been about more than just growth and innovation, the cannabis sector has had to weather some challenges,” said Scott Hammon, leader of the MGO Cannabis Practice. “The Cannabis 50 represents inspiring individuals and organizations that have impacted the sector in positive ways.”
