"In terms of why Canopy, I've known Canopy for quite a while. I met them when we were looking for partners about three and a half years ago. We did not end up putting together a deal at that point in time, but I did get to know the company quite a bit. Since then that company has changed significantly with leadership changes and became a very different company with the Constellation Brands investment behind them," Whiteman told CannabisIndustryJournal.com.
A Woman In Cannabis Industry
As a pioneer in the cannabis market, Whiteman understands that much of the industry is about building relationships and trust, and that process is reinforced when consumers see other women behind cannabis products. In addition to reaching female consumers, Whiteman understands that women bring a collaborative and cooperative spirit to an industry that could be driven by ego and competition.
Whiteman serves on the Marijuana Business Daily Advisory Board and the Benzinga Cannabis Advisory Board. She was recognized as one of Green Entrepreneur's 35 Most Influential Women in Cannabis and named MJBizDaily's first-ever Industry Impact Award Winner.
She was recognized as one of the Most Influential Women in Cannabis in 2020 and is one of six women included in High Times 100. Now, she will be honored at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference where she'll talk about the industry and opportunities for women to get involved.
