CHICAGO, March 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Fyllo, a pioneering marketing technology platform for the cannabis industry, today announced that Jeff Ragovin, co-founder of Buddy Media, the largest social marketing platform of its time that was acquired by Salesforce for $745 million, has joined the company as its first-ever Chief Commercial Officer. Ragovin will be tasked with driving the global commercialization of the Fyllo brands and its creative compliance offerings.

As Fyllo's Chief Commercial Officer, Ragovin will also play a vital role in overseeing M&A activity and potential fundraising.

To reach its full potential, companies need to be able to run more targeted and compliant marketing campaigns which Fyllo has been able to enable at scale," said Ragovin. "I am thrilled to join Fyllo to help launch strategic global commercialization initiatives and assist in driving further success throughout the M&A and fundraising process."
