Meet The Expert: Cory Azzalino

Azzalino, who holds a degree in accounting and finance from the University of Southern California, started his career as a CPA for Deloitte and led an investment team for Prudential Capital where he completed 26 transactions and more than $1B invested. He was also a founder of a Techstars-backed technology company and a product manager in early-stage startups.

As the SVP of Corporate Development at DionyMed, he helped raise over $70 million in debt and equity capital, while completing a successful public listing via a reverse takeover transaction on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

As Eaze's CEO, Azzalino leads all business operations of the company, including delivery & retail operations, private label, marketing, corporate development and strategy. He also held the COO, CSO and SVP of finance roles at Eaze. Prior to joining the company, he was the restructuring CEO of DionyMed Brands, Inc. DYME, which resulted in the sale of the business to Eaze.

Largest Cannabis Delivery Company In The U.S.

The delivery-focused multi-state cannabis operator is huge and still growing. “We’re the largest cannabis retailer in California with over 1,000 employees, the number 3 retailer in Colorado with full vertical integration, and a growing presence in Michigan and Florida,” reads the company’s LinkedIn profile.

Azzalino helped oversee the expansion from a single-state California operator to a four-state, vertically integrated delivery and retail operator while raising $170 million.

"We're still a private company but we look forward to in the years ahead being a publicly traded company," Azzalino told Benzinga.
