She also chairs the Food Safety Advisory Board for Ecolab. “I hope to contribute my knowledge in food and beverage, as well as my years of experience and connections with industry, government and academics to help make cannabinoids mainstream sooner rather than later,” said Wagner.

Allen Hsieh brings over 25 years of experience in business and finance to SōRSE’s board and has managed companies that generated $100 to $500 million in revenue annually. Mr. Hsieh’s broad financial background has spanned various industries, including all aspects of financial operations, reporting and internal controls, sale or divestitures of businesses and raising capital. Most recently, Mr. Hsieh served as the Chief Financial Officer for A Place for Mom, North America’s largest senior living and care referral service, where he successfully led the sale of the company from Warburg Pincus to Silver Lake Partners and General Atlantic.

He has successfully managed relationships between company boards and private equity groups with their respective stakeholders and currently serves as a Board Advisor to Ultrata based in Seattle. “Given how much progress has been made in the cannabis industry, this is an exciting space to work in, and I look forward to strategically positioning the company and its technology in the marketplace.”
