Her commitment to promoting open dialogue around pleasure and helping people feel more connected to their own sexual experiences and their bodies ultimately led her to become a voice for Foria. She harnesses her certifications and qualifications to help drive Foria's content and brand education.
Jon is committed to building socially responsible companies that create innovative products designed to make meaningful impacts in people's lives. That commitment led him to co-found Foria in 2014. Drawing inspiration from history's celebration of cannabis and other plants as aids for intimacy, Jon's drive and passion have spearheaded the creation of many of Foria's life-changing offerings, including their bestselling Awaken arousal oil and Sex Oil.

"As Foria evolves into its 'scale-up' phase, I'm genuinely excited to be surrounded by such a talented executive team. Liz is a true scale-hacker, who brings a wealth of relevant growth expertise and Gemma is a leader who will organize our team for operational growth. These changes together with Kiana's new focus will serve our continued mission of providing life-changing, plant-based sexual wellness products that close the pleasure gap and address the universal experiences that women and people who love them encounter across their lifespan."
