Background

About Skylar Jessen

With over 20 years of experience in business and 8 years as an entrepreneur, I’ve had the privilege of working in various dynamic environments. Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with C-level professionals and decision makers, focusing on building meaningful relationships and achieving business goals. I’ve been fortunate to engage with stakeholders and negotiate with major organizations and retailers, fostering long-term partnerships. Networking has been a cornerstone of my career. I’ve always valued connecting with professionals from diverse backgrounds, believing that strong relationships are key to personal and business growth. My academic journey includes earning a full-ride athletic scholarship for football at Washington State University and recognition as an All-State athlete in both football and track. These experiences have taught me the importance of dedication and hard work. More recently, being featured on the front cover and named one of the Top 40 under 40 by Marijuana Venture Magazine was a humbling experience, highlighting my contributions to the cannabis industry. In the hemp space, I had the privilege of co-founding Sky Wellness, where we've achieved significant milestones. We've been honored with national and global awards and successfully launched 5 brands and over 100 products in the natural hemp sector. It's been a humbling experience to see our products on the shelves of major national retailers like Circle K, Albertsons, Safeway, Tractor Supply, and others, which has been instrumental in advancing our mission in the industry. Additionally, our journey has been highlighted in prominent national magazines such as People, Star, Life & Style, Men's Health, and others, furthering our reach and impact. Throughout my career, I’ve aimed to approach challenges with strategic thinking and a proactive mindset. I am committed to the success of the teams I join and am always eager to learn and grow. Looking ahead, I’m excited about new challenges and opportunities. I’m keen to connect with like-minded professionals and explore collaborations that drive innovation and success. Let’s connect and see how we can work together to achieve great things.
