A trusted, forward-thinking, successful entrepreneur and dedicated philanthropist, Phyllis Lacca is a champion for start-up businesses (profit and nonprofit) with a passion for connecting and furthering women-owned businesses and cultivating and mentoring women entrepreneurs, minorities, and those from underserved socioeconomic backgrounds.

For more than 30 years as President of award-winning Masterpiece Advertising, Ms. Lacca has built a reputation for marketing and business excellence both at home and around the globe. She has represented major brands in industries ranging from hospitality and finance to healthcare and not-for-profit. In doing so, she has established a networking array that includes luminaries from the realms of business, politics, entertainment, media, sports, and human services.

Phyllis Lacca chose to partner with GLT Founder and President George Irwin because of his expertise, shared goals, and values. Her philosophy as a successful businesswoman is that the right culture coupled with best practices is vital, and to build the best product or service to meet the needs of the end user or customer, companies must think hard about their value proposition.

What Lacca brings to the table in her role is a lifetime of business and marketing expertise. This will be applicable in successfully branding and positioning New Jersey’s rapidly expanding medical/recreational cannabis industry and HOPE Holistic Healthcare’s licensed operations, be they in the growth, distribution, or retail dispensary aspects.
