Empowering Women from Soil to Shelf: Meet the Women Leading the Kuli Kuli Mission
At Kuli Kuli, we believe that nourishing the planet starts with empowering the people on it. As a woman-founded and woman-led superfood company, our mission isn't just about bringing you the highest quality moringa and baobab; it’s about redefining what leadership looks like in the natural foods industry.
From the farmers we partner with to the leaders in our boardroom, we are proud to foster a diverse, multicultural environment where women thrive in positions of power.
A Team Driven by Female Leadership
While we value our entire diverse team, Women’s History Month is the perfect time to highlight the incredible gender diversity within our own office. Approximately 77% of our team are women. This isn't just a statistic; it’s a reflection of our commitment to creating professional pathways for women in business.
Visionary Leadership: From Our CEO to the Board
Our journey began with the vision of our CEO and Founder, Lisa Curtis, who saw the potential of moringa to transform both health and livelihoods. That vision is supported by a powerhouse Board of Directors, including two extraordinary women:
-
Wendy Davidson: A seasoned leader with over 30 years of experience and a track record of managing more than $6B in P&L leadership. Her conviction that business success and purpose go hand-in-hand guides our strategic growth.
-
Wendy Lucas: An experienced leader and Harvard Business School alumna who brings deep expertise in brand building and sustainable business practices.
