Autumn Blum - Founder and CEO of Organix-South, Inc.
Autumn is a graduate of Eckerd College with a B.S. in Chemistry, certified by the American Chemical Society with an emphasis in Organic Chemistry, and holds a minor in Environmental Geology. While working for other companies and as a consultant, she learned many intricacies of formulating cosmetics using natural ingredients. She was making natural herbal products for other companies until she began working with the little known Neem tree, and in 1998, Autumn incorporated Organix-South. She emphasizes natural ingredients, incorporating her knowledge of Neem and other medicinal plants to create therapeutic skin care and aromatic herbal supplements which she manufactures and distributes globally under the TheraNeem, TheraVeda and other private label brands.

Working with Nisarga Biotech in Satara, India, Autumn helped develop a novel technology to encapsulate broad-spectrum supercritical extracts of Ayurvedic herbs, combined with the original whole herb powder, into vegetarian capsules. After proving the stability of the finished product, Autumn introduced TheraVeda Whole Herb supplements in mid-2005. The technology is currently in 'patent-pending' status.

As an alternative to the cosmetic industry's "cost-consciousness" and lack of environmental concern, Autumn offers the world a vision that embraces organics, product efficacy and company ethics over pure profit. She serves as president of her company, Organix-South, Inc., currently the top manufacturer world-wide of premium Neem products.
