Chelsea Mulligan began her career managing operations and takeovers for one of the largest fitness brands in the nation. Chelsea then brought her considerable experience and keen understanding of operational efficiencies, system management, procedure development and patient care to the cannabis industry. After opening and managing cannabis operations for the first vertically integrated license in Phoenix Arizona and their additional 3 locations, Chelsea went on to open her own Cannabis consulting firm. As Owner and Lead Strategist for Seche Strategies, she has successfully navigated over 45 high-volume dispensaries through countless launches, relocations, reorganizations, and state inspections. Building compliant systems and processes to track cannabis from seed to sale, Chelsea’s comprehensive supply chain management policies have made transporting, batch/package tracking, recall procedures and employee training seamless for each operation she has stepped into, as well as allowed each entity to pass their state inspections. Chelsea’s attention to detail, thorough understanding of the cannabis industry and compliance eventually led to Chelsea’s participation in the development and implementation of international, voluntary-consensus standards with FOCUS: Foundation of Cannabis Unified Standards. With FOCUS, Chelsea worked with both regulators (state, federal, international) and business owners to fulfill the mission of protecting public health, consumer safety and safeguarding the environment. Chelsea's intuitive understanding of the cannabis business environment, complex regulatory framework, and emerging retail trends led her to co-establish Open Dør Dispensaries in 2020, with headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.
