Alissa "Ali" Jubelirer, a former in-house leader and executive for Groupon and Tribune Co., now Tribune Media, has joined a growing number of corporate counsel who have made a leap into the burgeoning cannabis industry.
As the new general counsel of Revolution Enterprises, Jubelirer will manage corporate and compliance matters for the Illinois-based company, which was founded in 2014 and grows, processes and dispenses cannabinoid products for people and pets.
Revolution now has more than 150,000 square feet of marijuana production space, including a main cultivation center in a remote location outside Chicago that has been described as the "Area 51 of pot" due to its high security and secrecy. The company is setting up operations in Florida and plans to expand to other states.
