Jeanette Vandermarel

As a pediatric ICU nurse, Jeannette knows first-hand the power of therapies that work for patients. After the death of her daughter Breanne in 2003, from a childhood form of epilepsy, her journey to relieve suffering through medical cannabis began. Jeannette co-founded The Green Organic Dutchman (TSE: TGOD), one of the first licensed producers in Canada. She is also co-founder of Good & Green, former co-CEO of 48 North (TSX.V: NRTH.V), and holds many advisory and board appointments across the Canadian cannabis industry.

“Hardworking, humble, collaborative teams will make the difference to patients and partners, from soil to sale. We are at a crucial point in the Canadian medical cannabis industry.”
