Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Chidimma Adinna is a proud Nigerian who has lived in Ontario, California, for the majority of her life. She graduated from Harvard University, with degrees in Cognitive Neuroscience & Evolutionary Psychology.
Throughout her college experience, she sought out academic interests in both the life sciences and entrepreneurship—taking a wide array of classes from Stem Cell & Regenerative Biology to Startup Research & Development. She is also a strong advocate for women’s equity, working to create greater opportunities for women both professionally and socially. This has been through her involvement in The Seneca Inc, a non-profit organization that she rebuilt throughout her time in college. Her entrepreneurship endeavors did not end there, as she previously worked at the Google for Startups office in São Paulo, Brazil—placed at an Ed-Tech startup that provides English education to low-income individuals.
Outside of academics, Chidimma enjoys playing tennis—whether it’s singles or doubles, she’s always happy to play a match. And she has recently picked up film photography, carrying her film camera everywhere she goes!
