Background

About Michael MacDonald

Regulated Market Strategist With over 15 years in the natural products and regulated industries, I specialize in navigating technology, compliance, and international growth — across cannabis, cleantech, and wellness sectors. I bring a highly technical background and thrive in fast-paced environments where execution, precision, and market readiness are critical. My experience includes export strategy, government funding, procurement, and new product development under EU-GMP, GPP, and CFIA regulatory frameworks. I've worked closely with Health Canada, Innovation PEI, and international partners to bring compliant and scalable products to domestic and global markets. Projects range from CO₂ extraction systems and medicinal cannabis exports to consumer-ready natural health products. In parallel, I also own and operate a portfolio of rental properties and short-term accommodations, managing all aspects of maintenance, repair, guest bookings, tenant relations, and renovations. This hands-on ownership reinforces my approach to detail, accountability, and operational excellence across industries. Multicultural, focused, and execution-driven — I'm always interested in collaborative projects that demand strong technical foundations, regulated market experience, and real-world follow-through. Let’s connect.
