Boulder, CO, September 24, 2024 - NOBO, a leading provider of sustainable cannabis cultivation and plant-touching services, is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Patrick Heist, a distinguished scientist and industry pioneer, to its Board of Directors. Dr. Heist has also made a significant investment in the company.
Dr. Heist brings a wealth of expertise and experience in plant pathology, having earned B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Kentucky. As the founder of Ferm Solutions, he worked with over 200 distilleries worldwide, offering a wide range of services focused on fermentation and process optimization. In 2013, Dr. Heist co-founded Wilderness Trail Distillery, which rapidly became one of the world's fastest-growing bourbon distilleries.
