About Liz Ely

I work at the intersection of insurance, regulation, and real-world operations.

I’m the Director of the Cannabis Program at McNeil & Co., where I focus on helping licensed operators understand, secure, and maintain insurance coverage that actually works under regulatory scrutiny, not just on paper.

My background spans commercial insurance, insurtech, and program management. I spend most of my time translating insurance requirements into clear, executable decisions for operators, and identifying gaps between what policies promise and how businesses actually function day to day.

My contributions to this wiki reflect a practical insurance lens: how coverage interacts with compliance, inspections, financing, and operational risk in regulated industries.
