NutriScience is privately held and owner-operated. There is no investment committee and no layer of associates. The person who owns the company makes the decisions.
Every company we have bought is still ours. Not one has been flipped, broken up, or sold on.
Buying brands and running them is the whole business. That is why the question of what happens to a company after we buy it has a factual answer rather than a promise.

I started NutriScience in November 2003 to buy and run nutrition brands. The first was EnergyFirst, acquired in 2004, and I am still its CEO twenty-two years later. In 2010 it made the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, at #1,815. Greens Plus followed in 2016 and has become a multi-year best seller at Trader Joe’s.
Executive MBA from UCLA Anderson, MS in Nutrition, MIT Sloan’s Entrepreneurial Masters Program, and the YPO Presidents’ Program in Leadership at Harvard Business School. I have advised a number of companies and have been retained as an expert witness in several cases as a small business expert.
