Owen Papworth
Cannabis Manufacturing Executive & Extraction Consultant

Owen Papworth is the CEO of Cannabis Coach, a cannabis manufacturing consultancy that eliminates the 6–18 month operational learning curve for extraction and vape operators. He deploys proven process IP, battle-tested SOPs, and a proprietary AI facility management platform — Extract IOS — directly into client operations, delivering day-one production at full designed capacity.

Owen built Sitka Northwest from an empty warehouse to a fully operational extraction lab in 90 days, generating $4.6M in year-one revenue, 300+ dispensary accounts in 120 days, and $400K/month peak sales — starting with zero operating capital. He successfully exited the company through acquisition and went on to lead multi-million-dollar facility buildouts across Oregon and Illinois featuring BHO, cold ethanol, wiped film distillation, CO2 terpene extraction, and in-house HPLC testing.

His consulting practice covers facility design, equipment procurement, installation and commissioning, SOP licensing across 9 extraction disciplines, AI operations management, and go-to-market strategy. Owen's clients skip the R&D phase entirely — they launch with the same playbook behind a $4.6M first year and a successful exit.
