Alan Stender
continued to manage other business internationally, as well as consulting in other market segments in regard to machinery, plant layouts, line development and budgeting. Alan’s technical expertise in the food industry has taken him to 13 different countries, but his favorite was South Africa because of the people. “People make all the difference in the world, and being around positive, driven, talented people with a passion is inspiring. Upon introduction to Natura I was immediately drawn to the extraordinary team that has been built… a team that voraciously pursues a common goal. I am dedicated to making this world class facility run more efficiently while turning out an unmatched pharmaceutical grade product that makes a difference in people’s lives.”
What Drew Alan to Cannabis:
20 years ago, his brother, Scott, was diagnosed with late stage cancer. Given only 6 months to live, Scott denied chemotherapy and chose, instead, to follow a holistic regimen that included a healthy diet, supplements, outdoor recreation, and the enjoyment of cannabis. He lived every day as if it were his last, for almost 3 more years. “I believe there is untapped potential for helping and healing people through cannabis, and with the legalization of the industry we can improve product quality and reach a broader base.”
