Founder, CEO & Visionary Behind Empress Health.ai and Empress Naturals
Elizabeth Koshy is a serial entrepreneur, health coach, and former General Manager of Nivea Skincare (Beiersdorf) who has spent her career at the intersection of beauty, technology, and wellness. A pioneer in creative outsourcing between Hollywood and India through ventures like JadooWorks and Animation Dimensions, Elizabeth has led global teams, built creative studios, and shaped stories that bridge culture and innovation. Today, she channels that same pioneering spirit into Empress Health.ai and Empress Naturals — her mission-driven ventures transforming how women experience perimenopause and menopause. After a near-death accident left her bedridden for months, Elizabeth's healing journey through Ayurveda and integrative wellness inspired her to create a holistic ecosystem that blends science, self-care, and technology. Through her work, she aims to restore confidence, balance, and joy to millions of women navigating hormonal change. A frequent speaker at leading industry events like Shoptalk, eTail, and Groceryshop, Elizabeth advocates for redefining midlife as a time of renewal — not retreat..
