David Traylor is Senior Managing Director at Golden Eagle Partners, a firm he originally founded in to advise life science companies. After advising on various transactions in the life science sector, he took an interest in the cannabis sector and started advising cannabis companies before eventually re-founding Golden Eagle Partners in 2014 to focus on advising companies across the cannabis sector.
