Joey Gindi is a prominent figure in the cannabis industry, with over a decade of experience under his belt. Currently serving as the CEO of Ajoya Brands, Gindi and his brother founded Compassionate Pain Management (CPM) in 2009, a medical dispensary that quickly became known for its exemplary budtenders and patient-first approach. With the legalization of adult-use marijuana, CPM evolved into Ajoya to cater to the needs of both medical and recreational cannabis consumers. Notably, Leafly included Ajoya as one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Cannabis Dispensaries in America in 2017.

Gindi is passionate about creating safe and trusted spaces for cannabis consumers across the country. He envisions Ajoya as a destination for savvy and educated cannabis consumers, and his company's commitment to transparency, quality, and education has set a new standard in the industry. Thanks to Gindi's leadership, Ajoya is constantly evolving, expanding into new regions, and developing plant-first product lines to support changing consumer needs.

Gindi is proud to build relationships and spearhead fundraising efforts with local charities and community organizations, including the American Medical Refugees Foundation. His vision for Ajoya is to grow its educational initiatives, providing valuable resources for industry professionals, consumers, and the local community. When not busy expanding Ajoya's reach, Gindi spends quality time with his family, indulging in his passion for golf, exercise, and enjoying nature.
