He will be responsible for OLEO’s go-to-market strategy, sales growth and furthering existing relationships, like that with Bartell’s.

OLEO’s partnership with Bartell Drugs is a pivotal moment for the brand. As one of the most respected drugstore chains in the Puget Sound region, Bartell’s is known as a pioneer in the retail market as an early proponent of the benefits of CBD, and for supporting local Washington state-based companies.

We can’t wait to see our customer’s reactions to the product and brand!”
