Our team’s diversity, composed of individuals from various cultural backgrounds, is viewed as a strength, and Elmi actively promotes internal talent development and cross-functional learning.

This dedication to internal growth highlights our commitment to empowering employees and fostering their career advancement.

“This award from SDBJ signifies a milestone in our company’s story. It’s a testament to our team’s unwavering dedication and the trust our customers place in us,” said Shahab Elmi, CEO and Co-Founder of Cymbiotika. “Being named CEO of the Year encourages us to continue our pursuit of visionary leadership and exceptional performance.

Looking forward, Cymbiotika is set to move to a new 70,000-square-foot headquarters in late 2024. This new office, featuring a connected fulfillment center, symbolizes our commitment to unity and collaboration. The move aims to streamline internal processes and support the continued expansion of our team.

Elmi’s dedication extends beyond the professional realm into significant philanthropic efforts. He supports numerous non-profits, including Helping Hands for Afghans, Feeding America, Surfrider San Diego, and Animal Pad. His commitment to environmental sustainability is evident through initiatives such as generous donations to Coral Gardeners and planting numerous trees in downtown San Diego. Additionally, Cymbiotika has implemented sustainable practices in our shipping supplies, reducing our carbon footprint and reinforcing our commitment to environmental stewardship.
