Ms. Teuila Foma’I Tapumanaia descends from the royal bloodlines of High Chief Tapumanaia, dating back to the 1500’s in the beautiful islands of Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa, located in the great South Pacific. Her royal bloodlines hail from both her mother and father. She was born of High Chief father Tapu Mulama, High Chief grandfather Tapu Foma’I and High Chief great-grandfather Tapu Fa’afiti, and members of her very large extended family were born in the royal noble village of Auala, Savai’I and other prominent noble villages of Savai’I and Upolu. Her grandmother, Tanimo Va’ai, was also born from a royal lineage of nobility. Tonumaipe’a Tapumanaia hailed from Auala, Savai’I and was married to Queen Salamasina, the first Queen of Samoa. Her grand uncle Tapu Tai was one of eight men to give his life alongside the Samoan leader of the famous Mau Movement, High Chief Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III, fighting for the independence of Samoa in 1929. Teuila’s parents moved to America, and Teuila and her brothers were born and raised in California. The family visited their relatives in Samoa every summer, where she was taught the Samoan way of “God, family and respect for the elderly”. She is carrying on that tradition with her children and grandchild, and hopes to make a positive impact in this world through humanitarian and philanthropic efforts, aided by the resources that provide Samoa Artesian Water, one of the best premium bottled waters in the world. Teuila’s love for Samoa and its people encouraged her to develop a sales team to bring Samoa Artesian Water to the USA market for distribution, in order to help with the economic development of this great island nation. This led to an agreement with conglomerate beverage company PepsiCo from 2013-2015 in the Las Vegas strip, where their product was carried in major hotels and convenience stores. Teuila is proud to be part of this historical endeavor as Samoa’s first water exporter to the USA market.
She brings over 10 years of experience as an executive for sales and distribution channel building for the beverage industry and enjoys creating “win-win” scenarios for both buyer and seller.
