Benzinga - by Abbey Higginbotham, Benzinga Staff Writer.
Nancy Whiteman, the co-founder and CEO of Wana Brands, has been recognized as one of the most influential figures in the global cannabis industry. Her strategic vision and leadership have propelled Wana Brands to the forefront of the cannabis edibles market, making it a leading brand available in over 3,000 dispensaries across the United States and Canada.
As we gear up for the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on April 16 through April 17 in Hollywood, Florida, here is some of the expertise you can expect from Whiteman.
Strategic Acquisitions And Partnerships Under Whiteman’s guidance, Wana Brands has experienced significant growth, particularly following the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Colorado. Whiteman’s strategic approach to expansion has seen Wana Brands enter new markets, including Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Florida, and Massachusetts.
In a landmark deal, Wana Brands entered into an agreement with Canopy Growth, which could lead to Canopy’s acquisition of Wana Brands, pending changes in U.S. federal legalization or cannabis companies’ ability to trade on major U.S. stock exchanges.
