Mackowiak began his career at Revlon Consumer Products and then dedicated more than 15 years in the dietary supplement and food industries. He has helped create dozens of bulk and encapsulated powders, liquid concentrates, and other wellness formulations before transitioning to the cannabis space.

“I’m excited to work for a company that is shaping the future of cannabis retail through its oral delivery technologies. I look forward to accelerating the launch of new rapid onset formulations at Ally Biotech to bring more consistent and effective options to consumers,” stated Mackowiak.

Beyond Mackowiak’s mainstream CPG background, Baczek brings significant product development experience in the medical cannabis sector. Since 2013, he has been formulating precision-dosed edibles as lead cannabis chef for Uncle Herb’s Health Center, a licensed Arizona operator.

According to the Arizona Department of Revenue, combined state cannabis sales totaled more than $1.23 billion through the first 11 months of 2021.  MJBizDaily predicts adult-use sales in the state could drive combined annual revenue to $3 billion in 2025.
