Diane Scott, CEO of Canada’s only woman-led international medical cannabis company, JMCC, and Co-founder of SX2 Ventures, shares her story. “The huge learning curve for me became about the science and medicine ... As an entrepreneur, you need to know your own strengths. We can’t be great at everything, so you need to build a team that’s great at everything.”
Diane Scott, JMCC’s chief executive and chairwoman, said that the firm had spent ‘an immense amount of time’ identifying the best distribution channel for UK and EU markets. ‘We couldn’t find one that we were comfortable with in terms of ensuring the quality, safety and security standards we want for our product, right up to the point that it’s in the pharmacist’s or patient’s hands. So we decided to build it ourselves,’ she said. ‘And then we searched until we found the right partner to help.’
