The team
Two pillars under one roof.
Galleon was built so operators don't have to triangulate between a compliance attorney and a facility builder who don't speak each other's language.

Why now
Cannabis is moving toward a healthcare standard.
Federal rescheduling, April 2026.
The DOJ's April 23, 2026 final order moved FDA-approved and state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III. 280E disappears for state-medical licensees. Operators flush with new capital reinvest in compliance maturity and facility upgrades.
GMP / cGMP requirements are spreading.
New York mandates GMP processing with third-party audit within 12 months of operation. CSQ 2.0, the cGMP-conformant cannabis cert, launched January 2026. Florida, California, and Massachusetts are likely to follow.
A six-billion-dollar debt wall.
$6B in cannabis debt matures through end of 2026. Active distressed-asset work creates demand for emergency turnaround on a budget -- and for diligence partners who can credibly evaluate compliance and buildout debt that acquirers are about to inherit.
FAQ
Common questions
- How is Galleon different from a typical cannabis consultancy?
- Most cannabis consultancies are either lawyers or builders. Galleon is both. Christine Senne led compliance at Fluent Cannabis through 21x revenue growth as part of a broader leadership team operating across Florida, Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania. Ronald Long has 30+ years of healthcare facility construction experience -- hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, retina centers -- and brings ICRA, ASHE, MED GAS 6005, and AAAHC accreditation discipline to cannabis cultivation and manufacturing. Few firms credibly own both pillars.
- Where does Galleon operate?
- Galleon engages with cannabis operators nationally. Our regulatory credentials are densest in Florida -- Christine has ~500 variance approvals at the Florida Department of Health and serves as General Counsel to the Florida Medical Marijuana Trade Association -- and our multistate experience spans Florida, Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania through Christine's prior work. Ronald has built healthcare facilities across the Southeastern US, with substantial Florida work. We bring this experience to engagements wherever cannabis is regulated.
- What kinds of clients does Galleon work with?
- Three main client profiles: (1) new cannabis operators trying to enter the industry without overspending on full-service buildouts, (2) existing operators needing operational or compliance turnaround, and (3) investors, lenders, and acquirers performing due diligence on cannabis assets -- particularly relevant in the current distressed-asset and consolidation environment.
- Can Galleon serve as a fractional Chief Compliance Officer?
- Yes. Galleon offers fractional CCO services structured around the U.S. Department of Justice's seven elements of an effective compliance program: written policies and procedures, compliance leadership, training, communications, monitoring and auditing, enforcement and discipline, and response and prevention.
- Does Galleon handle facility design as well as construction?
- Yes. Galleon designs cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensing facilities to meet GACP, CSQ, GMP, and cGMP standards, as well as state and federal OSHA, ADA, and licensing requirements. We can serve as either your general contractor or your owner's representative depending on the engagement.
