HM: Your work is often described as “restoring humanity in genetic truth.” What does that phrase mean to you personally, and how did it become the philosophical backbone of your company?
ABD: To me, restoring humanity in genetic truth means returning dignity, compassion, and context to science. DNA is not merely data or a laboratory result; it carries stories, identity, and lived experience. My work was born from witnessing how genetic information was often delivered in a clinical, transactional way, while being received by individuals and families on a deeply emotional level. I founded Mobile Genetic DNA to bridge that gap, ensuring that every test, consultation, and result is anchored in empathy, cultural awareness, and respect for the human experience behind the science.
HM: Many entrepreneurs talk about disruption, but your journey feels more like transformation. Was there a defining moment when you realized DNA testing could be a tool for healing, not just information?
ABD: That realization came through real people, not spreadsheets or metrics. I saw families reunited, identities clarified, and emotional wounds begin to heal through truth. DNA testing became transformative when I recognized its power to restore peace, offer closure, and empower informed decision-making. From that moment, my mission shifted away from simply providing results and toward facilitating healing and understanding.
HM: You’ve built Mobile Genetic DNA around compassion and accessibility. In an industry driven by scale and data, how do you ensure empathy remains central as the company grows?
ABD: Empathy must be operationalized; it cannot be assumed. We invest deeply in training our teams in trauma-informed care, culturally sensitive communication, and ethical responsibility. Growth for us is not measured solely by volume or expansion, but by trust, outcomes, and client satisfaction. Every new service or market entry is designed to protect the human touch that defines our brand.
HM: DNA testing can uncover deeply emotional truths. How do you prepare both clients and your team for that responsibility?
ABD: Preparation begins with education and informed consent. We provide pre-test counseling, set clear expectations, and offer post-results support pathways. Internally, our teams receive continuous training and mental-health-informed leadership guidance. Delivering truth responsibly is a privilege, and we approach it with care, humility, and accountability.

HM: Being named a Top Innovator & Entrepreneur of the Year is significant recognition. How do you personally define innovation?
ABD: Innovation, to me, is impact with integrity. Technology is important, but innovation only becomes meaningful when it improves lives, expands access, and preserves humanity. True innovation is human-centred and legacy-driven, not just disruptive for the sake of progress.
HM: You’ve spoken about removing fear and stigma from genetic testing. What misconceptions do you most want to change globally?
ABD: The biggest misconception is that DNA testing is something to fear. In reality, knowledge empowers. When delivered ethically and compassionately, genetic insight becomes a tool for clarity, prevention, and personal freedom rather than anxiety or uncertainty.
HM: Your portfolio spans paternity, immigration DNA, prenatal testing, and wellness genetics. Which area will have the greatest societal impact over the next decade?
ABD: Wellness-focused and preventative genetics will redefine healthcare. Personalized insights will shift society from reactive medicine to proactive, informed living, particularly in underserved and global communities where access to early knowledge can be life-changing.
HM: With AI entering healthcare, where do you draw the line between innovation and preserving the human element?
ABD: AI should support human judgment, not replace compassion or accountability. The line is crossed when efficiency overrides empathy. In my work, humans always remain at the centre of care, decision-making, and responsibility.
HM: How do you see genetic insight fitting into the future of luxury wellness and personalized health?
HM: As a female founder in science and healthcare entrepreneurship, what challenges shaped you most?
ABD: Navigating male-dominated spaces while remaining uncompromising in my values was transformative. Those challenges shaped my leadership into one rooted in confidence, empathy, and strategic resilience. I lead with clarity and purpose because I had to earn my space while staying true to myself.
HM: HOT Magazine readers value legacy. How do you think about legacy when building a company rooted in truth and identity?
ABD: Legacy is not scale alone; it is stewardship. I am building systems and institutions that will outlive me, grounded in ethics, truth, and empowerment for future generations. That responsibility informs every decision I make.
ABD: Luxury wellness is precision delivered with care. Genetic insight allows truly bespoke wellness strategies, from nutrition and mental health to longevity planning, tailored to the individual rather than trends or assumptions.
HM: Looking ahead five to ten years, what does success look like for you and for those your work touches?
ABD: Success is global trust, ethical expansion, and lives improved through truth. For me personally, it means having built institutions that heal, empower, and restore humanity at scale.
HM: Thank you Antionett
