EXCLUSIVE: Cannabis Software & Services Provider Würk Names New CEO

Würk, a company focused on human capital management for the cannabis industry, has named Deborah Saneman to be it new CEO, replacing Scott Kenyon, who will remain in the company as executive chairman. He was appointed temporary CEO for 90 days in 2021, which evolved into two years in the position.

Saneman has served as the company’s COO for nearly two years, where she has been integral in leading processes across the organization, implementing business strategies and promoting an ethical, encouraging work culture.

Prior to joining the Denver, Colorado-based company, she spent two decades in financial services, consulting and payroll, even serving as president of the Independent Payroll Providers Association.

“As COO, I have had the opportunity to dive into Würk’s culture and do my part to help the company flourish,” said Saneman. “Würk is an essential tool for the cannabis industry, setting up a solid foundation on which companies in all sectors can grow and thrive.”

Würk was the first payroll service provider for cannabis companies. For years, it aimed to cater to a large number of new customers rapidly.

Besides payroll, Würk allows cannabis companies to manage human resources, timekeeping, scheduling and tax compliance while minimizing compliance risks in the ever-changing cannabis regulatory environment.
