Zach Silverman, Co-founder & CTO, LeafLink

Zach Silverman is the Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of LeafLink, a tech-enabled wholesale marketplace for the cannabis industry that has revolutionized the way brands, distributors, and retailers manage their commerce operations. 

As the Chief Technology Officer, Silverman is responsible for building a scalable tech organization and overseeing the development of LeafLink’s industry standard supply chain solutions. He brings 10 years of software engineering, product, and consulting experience at leading tech companies, including eBay and Limewire, to LeafLink as Chief Technology Officer. 

Ryan G. Smith and Zach Silverman founded LeafLink in 2015 with the goal of streamlining the cannabis supply chain. At the time, the cannabis industry was nascent, lacking the same tools and technologies as more established sectors. The Co-founders quickly saw an opportunity to leverage e-commerce marketplace dynamics as a way to create efficiencies for businesses in the space. Since then, LeafLink has built technology and services that directly empower the cannabis community and fuel industry growth.
