Kimberly Moody

Kimberly Moody specializes in product development and is co-founder of a company that launched a patented formulary product under the name Silver Balance after 15 years of personal use. Previously a stockbroker for over 20 years, she invented the product to address recurring vaginal issues and has received thousands of testimonials from women whose lives it has changed. Moody is renewing her women-owned certificate and partners with a female co-founder. She donates a percentage of proceeds each quarter to Dignity for Daughters, a nonprofit supporting women in Africa with menstrual and reproductive health education. Challenges in her field include securing retail placement, which opens doors once achieved, and complying with FDA regulations that restrict claims and require removal of testimonials and lab results. Moody attributes her accomplishments to empowering women to treat themselves privately and advises young women entering the industry not to give up on their inventions, especially those that help others. Her personal values center on family, including her son in college, and the motivation to support others.
