• Oversee risk management, ensuring governance and accountability at every level.

Brand & Market Growth

• Guide the company’s positioning as a trusted, science-backed leader in holistic wellness and natural supplementation.
• Partner with the Marketing Director and creative teams to amplify brand reach and equity across global markets.

• Build high-value partnerships in retail, distribution, and wellness ecosystems.

Stakeholder & Investor Relations

• Serve as the primary liaison with investors, board members, and key strategic partners.
• Deliver transparent, data-driven performance reports and business insights.
• Strengthen investor confidence through disciplined growth strategies and market leadership.
• Represent the brand externally — at conferences, industry events, and investor forums.

Leadership & Culture

• Inspire a performance-oriented, purpose-led culture that attracts top talent and fosters innovation.
• Build a leadership team aligned with the company’s values and growth ambitions.
• Balance commercial goals with ethical practices, sustainability, and consumer trust.
• Model integrity, clarity, and accountability in all decision-making.

Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 15 years of progressive leadership experience, including 5+ years in Managing Director, CEO, or senior P&L ownership roles.
• Proven success in scaling wellness, nutraceutical, consumer health, or lifestyle brands.
• Strong financial literacy — adept in forecasting, investor relations, and capital management.
• Demonstrated experience driving brand-led growth within high-performance environments.
• Deep understanding of regulatory landscapes, global market trends, and wellness consumer behavior.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or Marketing; MBA preferred.

Key Attributes

• Visionary and commercially grounded leader.
• Strong communicator, capable of inspiring confidence from investors to teams.
• Agile and data-driven, with an eye for both detail and long-term strategy.
• Deep respect for authenticity and sustainability in brand building.
• Motivated by growth that aligns profit with purpose.
