S3 Ep34: Lauren Carpenter: CEO & Co-Founder of Embarc

Conversations In Cannabis

Lauren Carpenter, CEO & Co-Founder of California based retailer Embarc, has over a decade of experience building prolific teams and leading successful strategy for some of the most diverse business coalitions and campaigns in California, including dozens of Fortune 50 companies.

Before Carpenter co-founded Embarc, she served as Chief Strategy Officer for Sweet Flower, and Director of Government Affairs for Western States at MedMen. Carpenter brought her extensive cannabis experience in government, regulatory, public, and community affairs to Embarc and into her role as CEO. Carpenter has become a trusted advisor to elected officials and continues to work with government agencies throughout the state and across the country to implement thoughtful cannabis regulations within communities to create mutually beneficial operations.

We sat down with Lauren last month to talk about everything from taxes, expansion, and being the retailer for the Grasslands area at Outside Lands in San Francisco.
