Kelowna’s Tyler Robson has been honoured as one of Canada’s top young executives.

Robson, who is the chair and co-founder of The Valens Company, was named to Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 list, which is curated by Caldwell and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 is an annual leadership award that recognizes exceptional achievement for those under 40 years of age. The group is chosen based on four factors: vision and innovation, leadership, impact and influence, and social responsibility.

“Achieving Top 40 signals a level of dedication and commitment that shows up in Tyler’s leadership style, and is what helps drive and propel our leadership and success of The Valens Company,” Valens president Jeff Fallows said in a press release.

“He is a team player, always ready to lend a helping hand or be a listening ear to someone in need. This approach has not only unified employees but also enabled Valens to reach all its operational milestones.”

Robson over the last 12 months has led Valens into the U.S. cannabis market through the acquisitions of LYF Technologies, Verse Cannabis, Citizen Stash and Florida-based Green Roads.

“Tyler is a one-of-a kind, natural-born leader,” Fallows said. “We are proud to have him as part of the Valens team and congratulate him on this major accomplishment.”
