Meet Adriana Florez | Entreprenuer & Dreamer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Adriana Florez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Adriana, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Making a difference in people’s life, that is where my mind goes when thinking about a business. Why? Who? and How? are key questions I ask myself. I am the 3rd generation of entrepreneurs of my family. It comes naturally to me to want to make a difference in people’s life on whichever venture I am currently working on.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My love for healing with nutrition and others is what set me apart! I also hold a degree in Industrial Engineer, an a Masters In Entreprenuership and Applied Technologies, I feel that my destiny was shaped since I was a little girl, I grew up walking around manufacturing facilities, watching my parents and grand dad building machinery and creating new products.

Challenges are overcome by focusing on the goal! Asking myself how much of a difference am I going to make on people’s life? And keeping my faith in God is also key!

Pivot is extremely important! Be willing to change when needed and listen, really listen to what the ones you are trying to serve are asking for! Also surround yourself with go getters, doers, people that know more than you! Have mentors and connect constantly with like minded individuals. Rest, breathe and enjoy life as well! Balance is Key!

Yummi Foods was born due to my love for my mom and healing with nutrition! When she lost her kidney function, I turned to the market looking for healthy and tasty food alternatives, but the offering was not what she needed, that is when I decide to embark on the mission of nurtured her back to health! The results were so amazing that, her and I decided we needed to this for others! Our story is still written and we will love for you to be part of our Yummi Journey!
