Power Players: Pushr CEO Dan Ripoll

Dan Ripoll
For this week’s Power Players interview we spoke to Dan Ripoll, CEO of Pushr, which he believes is the only Black-owned licensed distributor in SoCal. A Stanford grad who used to work on Wall Street, Ripoli discussed competing with the illegal market, the upside of affordable products and how distributors act as California’s “unpaid tax collectors.”
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
