Much of Patrick Moen’s life has been devoted to law enforcement. He spent five years as a police officer and went to law school during a decadelong career at the U.S. Department of Justice. At the DOJ, he rose to the rank of supervisory special agent at the Drug Enforcement Administration, directing a multiagency task force that investigated organizations engaged in high-level drug trafficking.
Last year, however, Moen decided he was ready for a new challenge. So he let his career take a hit.
In November, the Portland, Ore., agent joined Privateer Holdings, a private-equity firm focused entirely on the legal marijuana industry.
