Stefani Lucas founded Workhorse to untangle and streamline the complexities of the cannabis space, while delivering custom manufacturing solutions and high quality products.
Stefani and her team focus on the behind-the-scenes aspects of production, navigating the system to eliminate headaches, and save time, money, and resources.
In other words: they do the work so you don't have to.
Workhorse has designed, developed and launched over 200 SKUs (and counting) into the Colorado market since its inception.
We're just getting started.
Meet the Team
STEFANI LUCAS: FOUNDER & CEO
Having run some of Colorado’s most well-respected edible and concentrate brands, Stefani founded Workhorse to focus on solving manufacturing problems and lower the barriers to entry into the Colorado cannabis market. Stefani is passionate about creating and offering high quality products while building a company where people want to come to work. Workhorse company culture prioritizes work-life balance and keeping things fun while getting shit done!
Stefani’s favorite way to get high is smoking a joint while enjoying live music!
Stefani’s perfect Saturday starts with a slow morning hanging out at home with her husband Matt, their daughter Leona and their three ragdoll cats. It continues with a bike ride around the city stopping for some beers at a brewery. It ends with hanging with friends in the backyard laughing around a fire.
STACI STEVENS: Chief Marketing Officer
Staci is a motivated, positive, and goal-oriented individual whose organizational skills, eye for detail, and wide range of experience has helped her excel across multiple professions. After 10+ years in the Sports Marketing and Live Event space, Staci joined the Workhorse Global team in 2022.

Staci’s favorite way to get high is to eat a CBN gummy before bed.
Staci’s perfect Saturday includes sleeping in and spending the day with her Fiancé Lauren and dog Fletcher, eating burritos at Bonfire Burrito or having IPA’s at New Terrain Brewery (maybe both 🙂). After a long day out, Staci enjoys relaxing on the couch and watching music videos until the early morning hours.
Natalie Reed: Chief Operations Officer
After a successful career in Medical Sales, Natalie joined the Workhorse team in 2021 to help her high-school best friend, Stefani, take her business to the next level! Natalie manages the overall operations of the kitchen, across 20+ clients and 150+ products, and continues to be an innovator in the gummy and chocolate space. Natalie is passionate about company culture and is enthusiastic about having a positive impact on the cannabis industry and community.
Natalie’s favorite way to get high is smoking joints with her best buds.
Natalie’s perfect Saturday starts with some coffee and cat snuggles, then a round of disc golf or hitting the slopes with her husband Casey. It ends with a little BBQ at home watching the sunset with a margarita or two.
Chris Banks: Chief Innovation Officer
With a tremendous passion for the cannabis plant and what it can do for people (and pets), Chris began his professional career in cannabis in 2013. He has managed medical and recreational dispensaries, is trained in hydrocarbon and solventless extraction, and is an expert in sublingual tableting as well as water-soluble products. Chris joined Workhorse in 2023 to help Stefani and co expand their product offerings and help our customers turn product dreams into reality!
Chris’ favorite way to get high is by enjoying some really clean solventless hash through a puffco or a nice rig.
Chris’ perfect Saturday starts by waking up before the sunrise and getting a solid workout in before the world wakes. As the sun rises, he’s enjoying coffee with his beautiful wife Amanda and amazing daughters, Mara and Ava. You could find him and his crew hiking with their three dogs, enjoying some delicious plant based food, and some craft brews on a patio with a view. In a perfect world, they are all in bed by 9pm!
