Carol May Named One of the Most Influential Woman in Arizona
GILBERT, AZ (PRWEB) August 05, 2015 -- The President of Wisdom Natural Brands®, parent company of the leading stevia brand, SweetLeaf®, was honored as one of this year’s 50 Most Influential Women in Arizona by AZ Business Magazine. This coveted award recognizes women trailblazers and innovators in Arizona business. Carol May’s long-standing dedication to the well-being of consumers through Wisdom Natural Brands’ groundbreaking products put her on this year’s prestigious list.
Wisdom is the parent company of two highly respected and award-winning consumer brands: SweetLeaf® Stevia Sweetener and Wisdom of the Ancients® herbal teas. As President, May oversees strategy, operations, finance, sales, marketing, branding and new product development for the company. Her unwavering belief that people deserve a better solution to artificial sweeteners has driven her commitment to bringing Wisdom’s flagship brand, SweetLeaf® Stevia Sweetener, to store shelves in nearly 25 countries, including the United States. She has been integral in moving Wisdom Natural Brands from a small Arizona company to a multi-million dollar international brand.
In addition to the day-to-day business of SweetLeaf, Carol represents the company in its work with charities that serve people living with diabetes, such as the American Diabetes Association and Marjorie’s Fund. She is also the very proud mother of five children and seven grandchildren.
“It’s an honor to be recognized along with so many incredible Arizona businesswomen,” said May. “I am grateful and humbled to be among female leaders who are contributing so much and making a difference in the world every day.”
May’s strong belief in a better-for-you sweetener—along with her husband, CEO and Founder James May’s tenacity in bringing stevia to the U.S.—resulted in SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener. SweetLeaf has zero calories, zero carbohydrates, a non-glycemic response, NO sugars and NO artificial sweeteners. SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener is currently the only stevia brand consistently winning international awards for taste and innovation.
SweetLeaf is sold in a variety of convenient and delicious formats, including packets and tablets, SweetLeaf® Organics, liquid stevia Sweet Drops™, SweetLeaf® Water Drops™ water enhancers, and SugarLeaf®, a premium blend of SweetLeaf® Stevia and cane sugar that is great for baking with sweet taste and 2/3 fewer calories than sugar.
