About Jushi Holding:

In 2018, Jim Cacioppo collaborated with fellow cannabis and finance experts Erich Mauff and Jon Barack and realized that by combining their shared industry know-how, they could make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals across the globe. They quickly gathered an impressive team of experts to create Jushi Holdings Inc., with the ambition to be a leading multi-state owner and operator of cannabis licenses. Today, Jushi’s operations have grown rapidly with new cultivation, manufacturing and retail licenses across the United States. Our team has grown to ~1,550 members and counting.
