In November 2018 we lost our home, a large portion of our company’s product inventory and property during the Woolsey fire. I want to help people live their best life.Ĭan you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started at your company? This is my dream job, my mission in life. I knew that I had to be a part of this industry! Then came Green Gorilla. CBD had promising health benefits and was non-intoxicating, and Hemp had unlimited uses - from wellness products to textiles and industrial uses. Then I learned about Hemp and the compound CBD for the first time, which was mind-blowing. I was familiar with the health benefits of Cannabis. I was very excited and highly interested. In 2010 my husband Steven started looking into the Cannabis Industry for investment opportunities. During that time, I figured that once I finished school that my career would take me to a hospital, clinic, or wellness center practicing Family Nutrition.

I studied Family Nutrition and Health, I truly wanted to emerge myself in that lifestyle. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path?įor as long as I can remember I have always had an interest in healthy living! Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Guevara is also involved in corporate filings, distribution & wholesale/retail accounts management, marketing strategies, company events and employee training. In her role, she brings a wealth of problem-solving skills, creativity and superior decision-making capabilities which have helped Green Gorilla becoming one of the leading CBD companies on the market. While studying nutrition, Guevara was intrigued by the many applicable uses of CBD and the science behind the ways it influenced our bodies. Guevara, along with her husband and co-founder Steven Saxton, were the first entrepreneurs to launch USDA certified organic CBD products in 2013.
