Jewell joins Hill Street from Next Green Wave Holdings Inc., an integrated premium craft cannabis producer and CPG company in California. He was the first full-time employee at Next Green Wave.

He has worked in emerging industries, providing strategic recommendations to the executive team and board of directors and guiding financial reporting, financial planning, HR, legal and operations.

Jewell has also spent several years early in his accounting career as an auditor at KPMG. He graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Commerce.

Craig Binkley, Chief Executive Officer of Hill Street, commented on the appointment.

“I am delighted to welcome Matt as our new CFO to work closely with myself and the team. With Matt’s extensive experience, I am confident he is the right choice for Hill Street as we continue to execute our transformational strategy. I also want to thank Hinta for her significant contributions to Hill Street in building its financial foundation and for helping us to ensure a smooth transition of the CFO duties.”
