Asfalis Advisors And 4Front Ventures - The Northeast Cannabis Business Conference

Asfalis Advisors was created after Vanessa Mathews took a particular interest in crisis management when as a young woman, she found herself caught up in a natural disaster for which her hometown of Atlanta wasn’t prepared. Mathews is the Founder & Chief Resilience Officer of Asfalis Advisors, a Business Resilience Advisory Firm, is also a self-proclaimed foodie, travel enthusiast, pet-lover & avid fan of the hit TV show, The Profit. As the first woman in Georgia to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Homeland Security and Emergency Management from Savannah State University, including a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina; Mathews remains committed to helping clients at risk, or actively in crisis, to protect their employees, companies, and reputations.
