Cristina Reding of Aroma Retail Makes Inc.’s 2023 Female Founders 200 List
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) April 13, 2023 -- Inc. announced its sixth annual Female Founders list, honoring a bold group of 200 women whose innovations and ideas are shaping the world into a better place.
The founders cross all industries and bring with them unique stories of success from each stage of the entrepreneurial journey — from startup to going public, being acquired by big buyers, or spending decades at the helm of an organization. They are reinventing everything from shoes to food and are challenging issues like financial literacy and reproductive health.
"I am so humbled and proud of this recognition but I have to share this accomplishment with my amazing team, the - “Smelly Team” - who embraced our core values and mission of making high-quality environmental scenting available to everyone in a simple, retail model. This team of innovators and dedicated creative individuals are constantly disrupting the industry through their commitment to offering our customers simpler and more streamlined green processes, environmentally-safe affordable products, and sustainable sourcing. I couldn't be prouder and more grateful” says the owner of Aroma Retail, Cristina Reding.
Cristina Reding is a force to be reckoned with. She grew up in Romania and toured the world as a professional ballet dancer. In 1996 she moved to Las Vegas and became a US citizen. She climbed the ranks at Bank of America from teller to Vice President and Corporate Trainer.
Cristina has a Ph.D. in Special Education. She teaches educational methodology courses at UNLV and applies those pedagogical principles in mentoring her employees.
Aroma Retail started as a side business on Cristina’s kitchen counter in 2017, when she saw an opportunity to make candles for hotels to put in their gift shops so that their customers could bring the scent from the lobby home with them. When she launched her website in 2018 to make 5-star resort diffusion technology and high-quality glassware available to the public, the business quickly grew to over $5 Million in annual revenue.
Most recently Cristina has doubled the company's team with no attrition and doubled total income compared with the previous year. She believes that Aroma Retail's biggest accomplishment is its "Smelly Team". She has put together a group of handpicked individuals that live and breathe Aroma Retail's vision of gratitude and loyalty to one another and to customers. She provides an exceptional benefits package, including but not limited to healthcare coverage, a matching 401K plan, tuition assistance, employer-paid therapy support, and a fully stocked kitchen/café to ensure employees achieve a nice life-work balance. She also offers in-house training and classes to develop her staff and help them grow in their fields of interest and she's proud to promote from within.
Each year, Inc. editors review thousands of applications highlighting female founders who are challenging the status quo and tackling some of the world’s biggest problems. The list features women who have overcome challenges and lifted those around them while leading impactful organizations across the country. They join the ranks of previous honorees including Jessica Alba, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rihanna, and Shonda Rhimes.
“These 200 female founders have identified solutions to difficult problems and created valuable, industry-changing companies out of them. We congratulate this year’s list on their achievements and look forward to their continued success,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk.
