Kefir...from $116 to Billion-Dollar Brand...CEO Lifeway Foods, Julie Smolyansky.
Julie Smolyansky is the CEO of Lifeway Foods, shares her incredible and inspiring story!
Imagine arriving in America as an infant with nothing but one suitcase, $116 in cash, and parents who didn’t speak a word of English.
By age 27, she was the youngest female CEO of a publicly traded company in American history.
But what most people don’t know is what happened behind the scenes:
✅ She watched her father smuggle live kefir cultures from the USSR.
✅ She took over the business overnight—while critics said she’d fail.
✅ She turned a niche Eastern European product into a household name across the U.S.
✅ And yes—she even sent a case of kefir to President Reagan for his summit with Gorbachev.
This isn’t just a story about entrepreneurship. It’s about resilience, conviction, and proving the doubters wrong.
Today, her brand fuels a multi-billion-dollar category—and inspires immigrants, women, and entrepreneurs everywhere.
