We are thrilled to have you join us today, welcome to ValiantCEO Magazine’s exclusive interview! Let’s start off with a little introduction. Tell our readers a bit about yourself and your company.
Durana Elmi: First off, thank you so much for having me. My name is Durana Elmi, and I am the Chief Operating Officer and a co-founder of Cymbiotika. Our story began with a need to fill nutritional gaps and provide our bodies with everything vital for optimal health.
We recognized an alarming lack of transparency in the supplement industry, with products full of fillers, toxins and synthetic ingredients. Personally, I was reluctant to take supplements because I couldn’t trust them. After years of research, our team at Cymbiotika has created the best supplements on earth.
We combine scientific innovation with traditional Eastern medicine to design formulas that synergize with the body, and are sourced from only the highest quality plant-based ingredients. Outside of Cymbiotika, I am an Afghan immigrant, philanthropist, health and wellness advocate, and perhaps my most important title: a wife and mother to my two beautiful daughters.
In the past year, what is the greatest business achievement you’d like to celebrate with your team? Please share the details of that success.
Durana Elmi: I’m proud to say that women make up 70% of our team. I am passionate about women’s empowerment and recognize the importance of empowering them within our company and in the broader community.
In our company, I’ve prioritized leading events specifically for women to provide mentorship opportunities, deepen relationships, and grow through workshops. Diversity and inclusion are critical to our success, and we’re constantly working to create an environment where everyone can thrive.
