Vertical Harvest announced William Morrow as their CFO.

As the company sets sights on several major US cities, including Chicago, Providence, Detroit and breaking ground in  Maine this year for its second US location, Morrow will lead the capital acquisitions and financial growth model for Vertical Harvest.

Morrow joins Vertical Harvest with over 20 years of extensive experience leading operations for both start-up companies and established institutions. From New York City to Los Angeles to Shanghai and Jackson, Wyoming, Will has held positions from Operations Controller to COO and CFO.

His specific proficiency in both operations management and financial analysis/planning, and his most recent accomplishments in the food and beverage industry with Melvin Brewing Company LLC, allow Morrow to step into the Vertical Harvest role at a pivotal time.

Co-founder and CEO of Vertical Harvest Nona Yehia stated, “Will is a key part of our growth strategy. His experience across private equity, consulting and operations makes him a triple threat in the role of CFO - and his approach to making finance more accessible across departments and disciplines will make us a smarter and more agile team.
