Codie is a reformed journalist, turned institutional investor to now a Partner at Entourage Effect Capital, a private equity firm w/ $200MM in assets in the emerging asset class of cannabis. She left a multi-billion business she built up in Latin America to take advantage of this green emerging sector.

She’s always worked at the intersection of media, marketing and money, finding contrarian ways to invest. She actively owns and has investments into over 17 companies across asset classes and cashflow off of 7 of them that she is actively involved in.

Codie played in institutional investing land at SSGA (w/ trillions under management), learned about active investing and alternatives at Goldman Sachs and was at the forefront of the ETF business with Vanguard.

She’s led global teams in all asset classes, negotiated JV’s, bought and sold businesses, sat on boards, lost money, made money, and gotten a few degrees.

But the most fascinating part of all of it, as a former journalist, she saw the inside of how investment firms acquire wealth through M&A and business acquisition. And it’s not nearly as complex for us all to repeat as most say.

Wealth is created when you buy profits.
