About me
Shireen Yates is co-founder and chief executive officer of Nima. She has eaten a gluten-free diet for the past eight years because of multiple food allergies. After earning an MBA from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Shireen decided to pursue her passion for helping people lead healthier lifestyles by starting Nima. Since its inception in 2013, Nima has worked to create greater food transparency to help consumers make better health decisions. Its first product is a discreet, portable device that allows consumers to test their meals for gluten in about two minutes. The company aspires to alleviate the stress around unknown food ingredients, deliver social freedom, and make mealtime enjoyable again.
