Who is behind Cannafox?

Jack Macartney - CEO

High-speed sailing to hemp entrepreneur - when life changed course, Jack chose to pioneer a new frontier.

When Foxy pitched the idea of a hemp business, Jack was busy running the high-adrenaline SuperFoiler Grand Prix. But life has a way of charting new courses, and when the foiling boats were packed away, Jack found himself at a crossroads. Would he set sail again? Or take a leap into something new? He chose both. A two-time Sydney to Hobart yacht race winner, Jack thrives on pushing boundaries, and hemp became his next great frontier.

Carl Fox - Head Grower

From injury to insight - how a car crash set Carl "Foxy" Fox on a path toward hemp and healing.

After suffering injuries in a car crash during his youth, Carl Fox, known to most as “Foxy”, set out on a personal quest for recovery. Tired of relying on painkillers and opioids, he searched for a natural solution - something gentler, yet effective. That journey led him to hemp. Over time, Foxy developed deep knowledge of cultivation and processing, which would become one of the core pillars of Cannafox. But the “Fox” in Cannafox wouldn’t take shape until much later.
