With over a decade of experience, our team brings a wealth of expertise and a robust network of resources to the table.

Aly Piscatelli has been working in the regulated cannabis industry since 2011, focusing on regulatory compliance and its application in the workplace. In 2014, Colorado was the first state to use METRC for seed-to-sale tracking, and Aly opened one of the first recreational cannabis stores in Colorado and the nation. This blossomed a deeper professional relationship with the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division and METRC program that is now nationally used.

Today, Aly Piscatelli is an active member of the METRC and regulatory framework working groups in Colorado, working directly with other leaders in the industry. She has spoken at multiple national conferences about implementing compliance into the workflow of licensed facilities. She holds partnership agreements with accounting firms and consulting groups to work with clients to maintain accurate data and licensure. Her company provides on-site auditing, training, and SOP development in CO, CA, MA, OK, DC, NM, IL, NY, VT, ME, MT, and MO based on state-specific regulations, her experiences, and the ever-changing regulatory environment.
