Cannatrol, the company behind an all-in-one solution for drying, curing and storage of cannabis, today announced the hiring of Michael Lucchino as executive vice president of sales and Kameron Simpson as product manager, as well as the opening of Denver offices for the Vermont-based company.

The company's new Colorado hub in the Denver Tech Center will serve as a strategic base for the company's western operations and upcoming distribution hub for its postharvest systems, sales of which have demonstrated strong, steady growth since inception in 2021.

Lucchino will lead all sales efforts worldwide in both consumer and commercial channels. He joins Cannatrol after a decade at LED lighting leader Fluence.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the talented and collaborative team at Cannatrol at an incredible inflection point of its growth and journey,” said Lucchino. “As I step away from a 10-year run at Fluence, I want to extend my deep gratitude to everyone that I have had the privilege of working with over the years. To my partners and business colleagues, thank you for your unwavering support, dedication and camaraderie.”

Simpson joins after nearly 14 years at biotechnology company PhosphoSolutions.

“Kameron’s role is critical,” said Sandelman. “He rounds out the marketing department and brings his strong analytical skills to our organization as well as a fresh perspective from his experience in other industries. He also knows how to be nimble—a skill that will move our business forward most efficiently and effectively.”

“I made the move to Cannatrol because I am impressed by their mission and by the research supporting their science-backed commercial and consumer products,” said Simpson. “I’m eager to utilize my experience in product management and customer success to provide the best overall experience possible for Cannatrol’s customers as we continue to grow.”
