Podcast | Maddie Hamill
Maddie Hamill started out her career as a research scientist in the Department of Agriculture in Northern Ireland. Her plan was to work for a few years before getting married, having kids and living in a house near her mum on the Cavehill Road in Belfast.
What ended up happening was a rollercoaster journey that included moving to Wales to work for a tobacco company, becoming the Vice President of Global Strategy at Coca-Cola and leading growth at Fortune 500 companies like Apple and Nestle — as well as high-potential companies like Dollar Shave Club, Fairlife Milk and most recently, EggLife Wraps.
Recently, her career has come full circle as she is using her science background to advise companies in the medical marijuana space.
