Guest Cyo Nystrom’s Bio:
Cyo Ray Nystrom is the CEO and co-founder of Quim. After dealing with persistent vaginal health issues her whole life, Cyo began making her own proactive vaginal health products at age 23. In 2015, she left her job in tech sales to bring her knowledge and expertise into the emerging legal cannabis industry. Her involvement in the industry is deeply personal, as her father was incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis crimes during her childhood. Resounding support from her earliest product testers inspired Cyo to bring in childhood friend, Rachel Washtien, to create a line of topicals that addressed many of the intimate health issues she and her community were dealing with. Working on Quim not only allows her to create products that address her own health history and work in an industry that she has deep personal roots in, but also combines both her passion for cannabis as medicine and sustainable intimate wellness. She is heavily involved in both the cannabis and sexual wellness spaces, frequently speaking on panels and participating in industry events. Notable accomplishments include being named ‘Top 100 Most Influential Women in Weed’, being included in High Times’ ‘Female 50’, and winning a number of international pitch competitions (SXSW ‘20), (ArcView ‘18).
