Lisa Curtis Biography

Lisa Curtis is the founder and CEO of Kuli Kuli Foods, a company recognized as the first to introduce moringa to the U.S. market. Curtis began her entrepreneurial journey while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Niger, where she learned about the nutritional benefits of moringa from local women farmers. After incorporating moringa leaves into her diet, she experienced increased energy, which inspired her to bring the superfood to a broader audience.

Kuli Kuli Foods, based in Oakland, California, offers moringa-based products such as energy bars, powders, smoothie mixes, and wellness shots. Moringa oleifera is a protein-rich leafy green known for its nutritional value and anti-inflammatory properties. The company sources moringa from women-owned and small family farming cooperatives in West Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, supporting sustainable agriculture and global supply chain transparency. Kuli Kuli Foods products are available in thousands of stores across the United States.

Before founding Kuli Kuli Foods, Curtis gained experience in both the public and private sectors. She wrote political briefings for President Obama at the White House, served as a United Nations Environment Programme youth advisor, and worked at an impact investment firm in India. Curtis also served as communications director at Mosaic, where she led a team to grow the company’s online solar investment platform.

Curtis has been recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, an Inc. Top 100 Female Founder, a GreenBiz 30 Under 30 Leader, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 Top of the Class for Social Entrepreneurship. She has also been named a StartingBloc Fellow, a Wild Gift Better World Entrepreneur, an Ashoka Emerging Innovator, and a Udall Scholar. Curtis and Kuli Kuli Foods have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and other major publications, and she has appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Curtis frequently speaks at social impact and natural food industry conferences, addressing topics such as supply chain transparency, sustainable business practices, fundraising, and entrepreneurship. Kuli Kuli Foods is a Certified B Corp, reflecting the company’s commitment to equity and sustainability. Curtis’s experience positions her as a knowledgeable voice on entrepreneurship, global health, and conscious commerce.
