Halo Collective Inc. announced the appointment of Ryan Kunkel, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Have a Heart, to the Halo team as an Independent Director of the Company. Mr. Kunkel is a leading industry expert and entrepreneur in cannabis, influencing its legal, regulatory, and operational development since the legalization of recreational marijuana use in Washington state in 2011. He was instrumental in the raise of $50M in two private offerings, which enabled him to expand the Have a Heart footprint by creating an organizational infrastructure to maintain the dispensary storefronts at a rapid pace. With a focus on operations, fundraising, and application development, Kunkel quickly expanded the brand to 13 operational stores, in six different states with a total of 26 winning applications.
