William Hood & Company

William Hood & Company is very proud of our very own Greg Horn for winning the Nutrition Industry's Lifetime Achievement Award for his more than 30 years of service and impact in the broader nutrition industry. After many years of partnership with Greg, I continue to be amazed at how much ground he has covered since his days as CEO of GNC when he was still only in his 30s. If you ever hear a story about Greg and his accomplishments and think it is too interesting to be true... think twice and assume it was even more interesting in reality. Greg is a huge asset to our team and our clients in all of our nutrition related projects and assignments. Jill Staib Liz Van Pelt

"...your presentation was fine but Jill's panel stole the show." The most consistent feedback I heard about our session at the NBJ Summit this year. Jill hosted an informative and entertaining panel with our repeat clients Tobe Cohen of Pharmavite and Mike Satow of Bonafide Health. These inspirational leaders discussed women's health and Pharmavite's recent acquisition of Bonafide, one of the most notable and interesting consumer health transactions of the past few years. It's an exciting time for women's health. Thank you Bill Giebler, Jessica Rubino, Thomas Aarts and Jen Taylor for expanding our session this year. Greg Horn Sonny Stafford Liz Van Pelt Katie Koller

It was an honor to give my annual State of the Industry address to 400 leaders at the NBJ Summit, yesterday. After two and half challenging years for the category and M&A, we are very confident of a brighter future. As we heard from Bill Giebler and Erika Rommel Craft, there is so much to be excited about as the industry returns to its historical 5% growth rate including outsized growth from GenZ consumers, select product segments and the digital channels. We expect M&A and investment to pick up lock step with the improving category and business environment. Thank you Thomas Aarts Bill Giebler, Jessica Rubino, Jen Taylor and Carlotta Mast for your decade long partnership. Jill Staib Greg Horn Liz Van Pelt Courtney Wunderlich

The William Hood & Company senior health and wellness team is thrilled to be back in Southern California for the NBJ Summit! It is truly wonderful to catch up with all our industry friends in person. This trip I have been reflecting on how close our team is and how much fun we still have together after seven intense years of building our business.

William Hood & Company was proud to support our dear friends Michael Satow and Phil Satow at the The Jed Foundation (JED) 25th Anniversary Gala last night at Cipriani Wall Street. It was very moving to watch Robert Kraft honor his long time friend, Phil with a heartfelt speech. The Jed Foundation is a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation’s teens and young adults, giving them the skills and support they need to thrive today…and tomorrow. It was very special to reunite with the Bonafide Health team and celebrate Pharmavite's partnership and commitment to JED. Well done Tobe Cohen. Lovely to have Sophie Bosch and Chris Schneck with us!

Thank you Jonathan Townsend and Amie Atkinson for inviting Howard Schiffer, Bonnie L. Forssell, Lucy Kanya and me to the The Prince's Trust Awards in London to celebrate your work in the U.K. and internationally. We enjoyed the Awards and meeting with the recipients at your inspiring headquarters across the Thames. I am happy that we were able to connect Vitamin Angels and the The Prince's Trust and we look forward to supporting your growing work in the U.S. and overseas in any way we can. The challenges are common and philanthropy is global. The Prince's Trust was established in 1976 by King Charles III to support young people from disadvantaged communities and those facing the greatest adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn. #givingback #partnership

I have always known there is a potent consumer products industry ecosystem in my home town of Greenwich, CT. Last night William Hood & Company was honored to co-host with AF Ventures and Meaningful Partners the first annual Greenwich Consumer Dinner. Thank you to my dear and highly accomplished friends Jonathan Larken and Jordan Gaspar for bringing together such a wonderful group and for leading thoughtful and fun conversation. Everyone was only one degree of separation away and many new connections were made. It was heartwarming to observe so much conversation about life, family and current affairs in addition to business.
