Adam Shalloo is an accomplished operations and cultivation expert with over 25 years of experience leading large-scale agricultural facilities and high-compliance environments. With a background in Global Business from Arizona State University and early entrepreneurial experience in derivatives trading, Adam developed a sharp analytical mindset that has served him well in managing complex, regulated operations.

His career in regulated cultivation began with hands-on learning and quickly evolved into leadership. As Director of Cultivation in Las Vegas, Adam oversaw the full buildout and launch of a production facility, leading operations from seed to harvest with consistent success in meeting stringent quality and compliance benchmarks.

Adam later accepted the role of U.S. Director of Cultivation for an international corporation, where he managed multi-state cultivation operations and provided strategic oversight for facilities across the country. His responsibilities included operational planning, team leadership, and compliance management across three states and multiple international sites.

In Massachusetts, Adam transformed an industrial mill into a high-output cultivation facility, ultimately delivering one of the largest and most efficient canopy operations in the state—exceeding production forecasts by over 50%. He then expanded his impact in Maine, where he helped a vertically integrated company optimize workflows across cultivation, packaging, and production, resulting in significant cost savings and yield improvements.

Adam brings deep expertise in all aspects of regulated facility operations, including system design, irrigation, pre- and post-harvest processes, packaging, pest management, regulatory compliance (including Metrc), and team management. His leadership style combines strategic thinking with practical, hands-on execution—making him an invaluable asset to any high-output, compliance-driven operation.
