Willy Vlasic is an entrepreneur with a proven track record in cannabis cultivation, sales, and brand development. He began his career founding Teens for the Arts, a nonprofit he built and managed, before moving into sales roles at Proof Management, Healthcare DME, and OE Learning, where he consistently drove revenue growth. 


He entered the cannabis industry in 2016, scaling from a small home grow into professional operations. Vlasic has overseen the production of tens of thousands of plants, contributed to the sale of two METRC cultivation facilities, and generated more than $10 million in combined sales for Let’s Cheef and Perfect Harvest between 2021 and 2022. 


Vlasic is the co-founder of Vlasic Labs, launched with his father just before the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has become a recognized name in plant-based wellness, producing high-quality, hemp-derived cannabinoid products designed to meet a range of consumer needs. Built on a commitment to quality, consistency, and affordability, Vlasic Labs continues a broader family legacy of innovation while expanding access to cannabinoid wellness solutions.  


Now operating as a family business alongside his brother, Vlasic has helped scale the brand’s product development, and distribution footprint, with continued expansion into new markets.

The global cannabis market is entering its most consequential chapter yet, and the action is no longer centered in North America. Germany's adult-use reforms have reshaped European demand almost overnight, while regulators in the Czech Republic, Switzerland, and the UK rewrite the rules for medical and wellness products. Latin America, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil are unlocking cultivation, export, and patient-access pathways that could redraw the entire supply chain. For executives and investors tracking cannabis market trends, the question is no longer whether to expand globally, but how to move before the window closes. This session gives you a read on where the real cannabis industry opportunities sit and how to act on them.
