Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce Announces New President

The Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce, a trade organization representing more than a billion dollars of global cannabis market share, has elected Rezwan (Rez) Khan as its president.

Khan is the vice president of global corporate development for DNA Genetics, an award-winning cannabis company, and co-founder of seedleSs, a cannabis marketing firm. His experience spans decades of working with issues facing international and emerging cannabis marketplaces.

“I’m humbled and honored to serve as president of the Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce during this crucial time in the industry. While we all recognize the value cannabis brings, medicinally, economically and otherwise, cannabis still faces enormous legal and regulatory hurdles in the United States and around the world,” said Khan. “Cannabis business leaders have overcome incredible turmoil to build a vibrant industry during the misguided 80-plus-years of cannabis prohibition; it is important that we continue to guide the conversation through the final stretch to ensure the future of legal cannabis works for everyone.”

“We are so excited to have Rez as our president — his depth of knowledge, relationships and industry leadership are unparalleled. I look forward to working with him to help policymakers and legislators understand this emerging, booming and complex business,” said Randal John Meyer, executive director.
