Prior to joining NextLevel, he held roles including CFO of Drift, a renewable energy marketplace, and worked with major investment banks including Credit Suisse, Bank of America, Credit Agricole, and Barclays. Most recently, Suresh served as a key advisor for NextLevel Business Consulting, where he developed vision and strategy for large companies in financial services and technology. 'Suresh’s extensive experience with online marketplaces and digital payments will provide Leafly the financial leadership and strategy needed to keep this promise to our customers.' 'We are focused on one promise: to be the marketplace of choice for the cannabis community,' said Leafly CEO Yoko Miyashita. For a company that started as a spreadsheet a little more than a decade ago, I’m amazed at the business Leafly is today, and energized to use my expertise and leadership to take Leafly through this next phase of growth,' said Suresh.

I’m excited to bring my experience with emerging e-commerce companies to Leafly’s next chapter. 'As a cannabis discovery destination for more than 125 million people every year and a business platform for more than 12,400 cannabis brands and retailers combined, Leafly is a compelling marketplace that drives value throughout the cannabis ecosystem. Suresh brings more than 25 years of experience in leading finance and technology roles for global organizations, and is joining Leafly following the announcement that the Company will go public through a business combination (the 'Business Combination') with Merida Merger Corp. Suresh Krishnaswamy will join Leafly as Chief Financial Officer.
