Nigel Gale
With over two decades of experience in controlled-environment agriculture, Nigel Gale leads SOMAÍ’s cultivation and production strategy with a scientific yet deeply hands-on approach. As Director of Grow & Production, he oversees NovaSoma, SOMAÍ’s indoor cultivation facility in Lisbon, where precision, consistency, and care define every stage of growth.
Nigel’s expertise lies in combining botanical science and environmental engineering to create optimal growth ecosystems for cannabis plants. His leadership has been instrumental in implementing standardized cultivation protocols that ensure genetic stability, purity, and batch-to-batch consistency across SOMAÍ’s EU-GMP operations.
At the core of Nigel’s philosophy is a simple principle: “Healthy plants come from harmony — between people, environment, and ecosystem.”
