Naturade CEO & CMO’s Commitment to the Health of Minority Groups, Especially the African-American Community
Founder, Partner and CEO Claude Tellis and CMO Kareem Cook became friends while attending Duke University. Both having many family members and friends affected by diet-related illnesses or having suffered from diabetes, heart disease and other obesity-related illnesses, they knew they wanted to do more.
In 2012, after starting a healthy vending machine company that ushered in a well needed change in Los Angeles Unified School District, they acquired Naturade, a premium level natural products company distributed primarily in the natural products industry. In 2013, they met John Lewis, an internationally recognized vegan advocate and fitness expert. John explained that the best way to prevent obesity, pre-diabetes and heart disease was a plant-based diet. Later that year, they partnered together and created VeganSmart.
“Because we’ve both lost people we love due to diet-related illnesses, everything we do is with the health of the African-American community in mind,” explained VeganSmart CEO, Claude Tellis. “We aspire to create Whole Foods premium products at Walmart pricing so we don’t limit accessibility, especially in the country’s food deserts.”
And the African-American community is definitely listening and behind this dynamic duo. In fact, retired NBA superstar Grant Hill believes in Naturade’s mission so strongly, he became an investor. Naturade’s ultimate goal is to help America, with an emphasis on the African-American community, lose one million pounds.
