Harriet Chebet Ng’ok is the founder and owner of Harriet’s Botanicals. The health and wellness startup makes herbal medicines, whose ingredients are sourced from forests in the Kenyan countryside.
Ms. Ng’ok studied at The London School of Economics and later worked as an investment banker and in finance in cities such as London, Cape Town and New York. Companies she worked with include Cherie Blair Foundation, Sinapis, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.
The idea of the brand sprung from her own battle. Since her 20s shewould miss school and work due to menstrual pain and discomfort. It was worse when she was working as an investment banker. Her colleagues thought she was lazy and just looking for an excuse to be away from work every month.
She is now a certified a cultural practitioner by the Ministry of Culture in a bid to show commitment and transparency.
Besides fulfilling its mandate of manufacturing herbal medicine, Harriet’s Botanicals has embraced cultural and environmental elements. They are committed to preserving the trees and plants from which we extract the medicines. This will help preserve local cultures and promote green energy.
