The story of Gian Lombardi

Gian Lombardi is Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Molly Ann Farms, one of New Jersey’s leading independent cannabis dispensaries (https://mollyannfarms.com). He oversees corporate strategy, buying, IT, business analysis and brand partnerships — sitting squarely on the buy side of the wholesale market, managing negotiations with the brands competing for shelf space.

Since co-founding the company, Gian has helped lead the business from concept through licensing and into a high-performing retail operation, with a focus on disciplined buying, margin protection, and data-driven growth.

Prior to entering cannabis, Gian spent more than 25 years building and leading high-performing B2B sales organizations in the digital media and ad-tech industries. He held senior revenue and sales leadership roles at companies including DoubleClick (later acquired by Google), YuMe (IPO’d), White Ops (acquired by Goldman Sachs), and STAQ (acquired by Operative), where he consistently scaled teams, opened new markets, rebuilt underperforming sales organizations, and drove significant revenue growth and successful exits. He graduated Colgate University cum laude with a B.A. in Philosophy.
