Stormy Simon, Former President of Overstock.com, to Share Her Thoughts on the “Green Rush” of the Cannabis Industry

LOS ANGELES – Are you canna cool? Women Abuv Ground is excited to announce that Stormy Simon, former president of Overstock.com, will be the keynote speaker for its upcoming “Knowledge and Network” networking series. Stormy will discuss the topic of “Taking the Leap From Corporate America to Cannabis” on Saturday, March 18, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Café Club Fais Do-Do, located at 5257 W. Adams Blvd. in Los Angeles. Cat Packer, the California policy coordinator of the Drug Policy Alliance, will also be a special guest. Cannabis advocates and cannapreneurs are invited to join conversation about the emerging billion-dollar cannabis industry. The mixer is presented by Women Abuv Ground (WAG) and Men Abuv Ground (MAG), two sister networking organizations, headed by Bonita “Bo” Money and former NFL Super Bowl champ Marvin Washington, respectively, dedicated to educating and empowering people of color in the emerging cannabis industry. Simon is an e-commerce innovator, pioneer and proven business leader. She joined Overstock.com in 2001 during the formative years of e-commerce, when the company's revenue was less than $20M and employees numbered under 100. She held various key positions, including co-president, and managed various departments, including Business-to-Business, Public Relations, Books, Movies, Music and Games. She was promoted to VP of Branding in 2004 after writing and producing the iconic "Discover the Secret of the Big O" campaign, which contributed to Overstock.com becoming a household name. During her tenure, Overstock became a top 25 e-tailer by traffic and grew to nearly $2B in revenue. Last summer, she stepped down as president of Overstock to explore the emerging American cannabis industry.
