Ashley Picillo is the founder and CEO of Point Seven Group and started the company after she recognized that Colorado was quickly becoming the model for the expanding cannabis industry. Point Seven Group was established in 2016 to offer management consulting services to new operators facing the daunting learning curve she had experienced just two years prior. Since then, Point7 has rapidly expanded with headquarters in Colorado, and satellite offices in California, Ohio, and New York, supporting clients worldwide. Today, Point7 specializes in business strategy, licensing acquisition, facility optimization and operations, go-to-market planning, financial modeling, regulatory compliance, and company expansion.

Ashley is also the author of Breaking the Grass Ceiling: Women, Weed and Business, published and released at SXSW (2017). To date, Ashley and her Point7 team have helped clients in 24 US states, Canada, and Australia secure highly-coveted cannabis business licenses.
