John Moynan started working at Organa Brands in 2014 as an intern under the company’s then-general counsel while he was finishing up his law degree at the University of Colorado School of Law.

In 2016, he was asked to become the top lawyer when the company was still private. When Denver-based Organa Brands was acquired by Canadian cannabis company SLANG Worldwide, he was working as the only attorney in the legal department and was later asked to become the general counsel.
