Nene Kraneveldt

Nene is a change-maker and bridge-builder, working to support people, communities, businesses and governments from the negative impacts of colonization through economic opportunities.

 A member of the Hupacasath Nation, one of Vancouver Island’s 14 Nuu-chah-nulth Nations, Nene has decades of experience working with First Nations, Indigenous organizations and federal and provincial governments. Her servant leadership style combined with strong values reflective of Indigenous cultures makes Nene a vital part of EVO Extracts’ leadership team.

Nene is of mixed ancestry and walks in both indigenous and non-indigenous worlds, committing her entire professional career to improving Indigenous people's social, community, and economic conditions. As more and more First Nations across North America participate in the cannabis industry, Nene brings to EVO Extracts decades of experience in Indigenous, government, corporate and non-Indigenous settings. 

Nene’s business values are deeply imprinted upon EVO Extracts: respectful, sustainable, aligned, allied and innovative bridge-builders between indigenous and non-indigenous business and governance systems. 

In addition, we are fully committed to the value, spirit and intent of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
