John Jezzini is a Los Angeles-based
entrepreneur and maverick within the cannabis marketplace. He is the Founder
and CEO of Growth Network Holdings, a vertically-integrated and brand focused
company that works with a portfolio of world-class cannabis brands such as
Ervana, Coalition, and Amigo Cannabis.
Prior to his
involvement within the cannabis market, John led a successful career in real
estate. John’s previous experience and business insights have helped him add
structure to the cannabis industry, creating a more profitable and sustainable
business model.
As a vertically-integrated company, John Jezzini and Growth Network Holdings is able to control every aspect of the supply chain, resulting in higher yields, stronger plants, and market-leading profit margins.
In 2009, John made the official foray into
cannabis beginning with cultivation. He hired several botanists and, together,
they began working on their own fertilizer and growing processes that would create
higher yields. Their work together was successful—they developed proprietary
cultivation methodologies that result in the strongest plants, market-leading
profit margins, and larger yields. His entrance into the cannabis space quickly
marked John Jezzini as an innovator and prominent industrial designer for
cultivation and distribution systems in the cannabis industry.
Their approach sets them apart from companies in the marketplace. As they are able to completely control the supply chain, branding, and distribution in house, they have the ability to offer incredible savings to their partners while also creating a scalable business.
Understanding that cannabis is not a one-size-fits-all kind of industry, it is John and his team’s goal to create a portfolio whose brands deeply resonate with specific consumers within a wide range of demographics and product preferences. To John Jezzini, this goal would help to fix one of the many gaps within the cannabis marketplace. For instance, since 2011, John has operated several dispensaries across Los Angeles. During his time in retail, he realized that one of the largest gaps was an inclusive retail experience that catered to both connoisseurs and the cannabis curious. Out of this realization, The High Note was born.
Modeled after speakeasies of the past as a nod to the current cannabis prohibition repeal, The High Note offers a consumer-focused retail experience with a high-end feel. Growth Network Holdings also works with Ervana Craft Cannabis, Coalition, and Amigo Cannabis—three cannabis trailblazers, each offering their users a unique experience.
In addition to his passion for innovation within the cannabis industry, John Jezzini is also an ardent believer in corporate and cultural responsibility. Through Ervana, one of Growth Network Holdings’ partners, John and his team work with One Tree Planted, an organization that plants trees for every ounce of cannabis the company sells. John has also developed the Jezzini Learning Center through Midnight Mission and their sister charity, Home Light, that works with homeless children to help them bridge the gap in their education so they can integrate back into their grade level.
