Jessica Billingsley and Samantha Ford at The Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference. Our first guest is CEO of the first cannabis compliance technology company to be traded on Nasdaq making her the first CEO from this market to bring a company to a major U.S. exchange. She has recognized for Fortune’s “Most Promising Women Entrepreneur Award,” is also recognized as one of Inc.’s “Female Founders 100,” and was chosen for Entrepreneur Magazine’s inaugural 100 Powerful Women list. Jessica Billingsley has served as MJ Freeway’s Chief Executive Officer since April 2018. She co-founded MJ Freeway in 2010 and served as President from 2010 to April 2018. Prior to MJ Freeway, Jessica was CEO and founder of Zoco, a technology services firm with clients across the United States. Next, we talk to Samantha Ford of Protis Global. Samantha is all about the hustle. She is sharp, fun and quite exceptional at most things she puts her mind to. She’s been in executive search for over 20 years. She successfully built a search practice in the 90’s placing high-level equity professionals with top wall street firms nationwide and ultimately became one of the top search professionals in the brokerage industry. Needless to say, she knows her way around people, business and numbers. What more could we ask for? After spending a month in Nepal, she decided to leave the corporate world and go out on her own where she continued to focus on wall street.
