VISTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Health Trax (GHT), one of the most trusted names in the nutritional supplement field for its digestive health expertise, has named Rick Wilson as the director of operations.
In his new position, Wilson will be responsible for overseeing the operational functions of GHT, which include management and oversight of the company’s supply chain, logistics, materials, inventory management, and distribution methods.
“The GHT brand has seen tremendous growth in the nutrition supplement field over the last few years and the time was right to add a key executive who can help us grow to the next level,” said Jim Rex, president and chief executive officer (CEO). “Rick’s expertise with supply chain management and operations will be critical to our success in growing in new niches and markets.”
Wilson brings more than 25 years of experience in operations and supply chain management, supporting multi-site operations and a worldwide supplier base.

A year later, multiple products from To Go Brands could be purchased in over 20,000 retail outlets reaching over $21 million in sales. In these operations, Wilson built the necessary infrastructure to provide supply chain excellence from manufacturing to distribution always keeping the customer in mind.
For more than ten years, Wilson has been focused in the dietary supplement industry.
