Jessica Passman

Jessica is Founder of Hunter + Esquire, the retained executive search and human capital advisory firm specialized in the cannabis and psychedelics industries. Jessica is the architect of process and flow. And that’s crucial. The cannabis industry is uncharted territory—and Jessica brings order to the chaos. A self-professed “problem solver,” she thinks quick on her feet and isn’t afraid to step out of the box for solutions and strategies that help guide the firm’s day-to-day operations. Prior to launching the company, she worked as an associate attorney at several top law firms, and provided outside general counsel to numerous clients through her own law practice. Eventually, her passion for business led to her role as Chief Operating Officer and general counsel for a global networking organization exclusively for professional women executives and women business owners. In her role there, she wore many hats while creating the opportunity to evolve as both an entrepreneur and attorney. And if that sounds auspiciously perfect, you’re right. That's precisely what she brings to Hunter + Esquire. Outside of the office, you can find her at the nearest yoga or Pilates class or diving into the world of organics and sustainability. When people ask Jessica to describe herself, she doesn't hesitate to say that she’s analytical, passionate and open-minded, but also, a mom to two incredible boys.
