Speaker Bio
Azam Khan is the co-founder and COO of Distru, a leading ERP platform powering the cannabis supply chain. With a background that spans mobile gaming, ad tech, and enterprise software, Azam brings a unique commercial lens to operational challenges in emerging industries. He began his career in business development roles across the mobile and social gaming ecosystem, gaining experience in application development partnerships and monetization strategy.
After earning a B.S. in Biology from UC Santa Barbara, and indulging in a variety of roles across various industries, Azam gravitated toward the cannabis sector, where he connected with Blaine Hatab through early community meetups and conferences in Oakland. Alongside Blaine and technical co-founder Johnny Halife—whom Blaine met through the Elixir programming community—Azam helped launch Distru to serve the overlooked but critical layer of cannabis distribution and manufacturing.
Since founding the company, Azam has worn nearly every operational hat—spanning sales, customer success, support, marketing, and now leading finance and strategic initiatives. He currently oversees investor relations, growth strategy, and key operational planning as Distru scales nationally. His cross-functional experience and deep market understanding have been instrumental in shaping Distru’s evolution from early product-market fit to a category-defining vertical SaaS company.
