Whiteman founded Boulder, Colorado-based Wana in 2010 “when the barriers for entry in Colorado were very low,” by her own account. Since then, she’s given Wana a multistate presence. In 2017, the company’s edibles were available in Colorado, Nevada and Oregon – with more states planned in 2018. Meanwhile, Wana has gone from five employees working in a 300-square-foot production facility to 100 workers laboring in a 17,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. Prior to founding Wana, Nancy was a principal with The Whiteman Group, a sales and marketing consultancy, and previously held a range of senior level marketing and business development positions including Vice President, Marketing and New Corporate Ventures for the Paul Revere Insurance Group in Massachusetts. Nancy holds a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and an MBA from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Wana is one of a few edibles brands that is positioned to become a truly national – if not international – infused products company. Wana will have a business presence in the largest state cannabis markets come 2019. By early 2018, Wana should have product on shelves in Arizona. It also plans to have a footprint in Illinois and Florida in the first quarter of 2018. By the end of the year, Wana expects to have moved into California, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
