About Lisa Offringa
Ethnobotany /ˌeTHnōˈbätənē/ – The scientific study of the traditional knowledge and customs of a people concerning plants and their medical, religious, and other uses. As an ethnobotanist, I explore the intricate relationship between people and plants to unlock their potential for improving human health and wellbeing. With a Ph.D. in Plant Sciences and over 15 years of experience spanning startups and CPG companies, I bring a comprehensive understanding of natural products—from \"Soil to Shelf.\" My expertise lies in innovative formulation, crafting compelling, science based label claims, directing results-oriented clinical trials, and optimizing business operations. I balance attention to detail with a strategic perspective to foster growth and deliver impactful solutions. My personal mission is to bridge nature and modern science, leveraging the untapped power of plants to enhance lives globally, sustainably and with a reverence for the earth. I am passionate about ethical, rigorous research, collaborating with key stakeholders, and effectively communicating science to diverse audiences. I am recognized for my positivity, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and growth mindset.
