Gizella Greene co-founded SuperFoods Ecuador in 2015, after four years of research about healthy lifestyle and holistic nutrition. After earning an MBA (Adolfo Ibañez – Chile) and working for 10 years leading departments such as marketing, customer service, communications, and corporate social responsibility, she decided to quit her job, become a mother and start her own project.

It wasn’t easy for Gizella to get pregnant, due to a history of unhealthy eating and diets, so she decided to change her way of living. She found the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), a nutrition and holistic health school, where she became a health coach. After years of research, detox, exercise and healthy eating, she co-founded SuperFoods Ecuador and also was blessed with a beautiful baby boy.

Gizella created an inclusive project, run by a group of entrepreneurial and empowered women, which promotes wellness, integral nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, by offering a space with a flexitarian restaurant, an organic store, and healthy cooking classes. Gizella is a pioneer in this industry at her country; she promotes gender equality, environmental awareness and generates a positive impact in society working with more than 300 small businesses and entrepreneurs whose families depend on what they sell. She encourages the consumption of local, organic, eco-friendly and artisanal products provided by these small producers.

Gizella is also a business coach and studied neuro-linguistic programming. She taught marketing and customer service courses at UDLA University and, over the past two years, has conducted more than 80 workshops, healthy cooking classes and one to one coaching. When she led the effort of corporate social responsibility at her former job, she published two CSR’s Annual Reports. She received the recognition of «Nutritional Responsibility» by the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador for promoting healthy practices at SuperFoods Ecuador. Gizella is convinced that her project can impact positively a lot of lives, so she is committed to bringing it closer to those who need it the most.
