In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15),
Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael O.
Johnson released the following statement:
“We are proud to embrace Hispanic Heritage Month as an opportunity to
recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions Latinos have made
– and continue to make – in the U.S.
“To mark this important occasion, Herbalife will highlight the efforts
and successes of our own Hispanic community. Hundreds of thousands of
Latino Herbalife members have embraced our products to help create
healthy families all around the country. Each day, their work serves as
a call to action: Hispanic families can enjoy a healthy, active
lifestyle with exercise and smart food choices. Through their efforts,
we are providing healthy, nutritious options that help combat some of
the health disparities in the Latino community.
“Herbalife also honors the contributions of our many Hispanic employees.
Our hard work requires a passionate, dedicated team. Herbalife relies on
the counsel and guidance of our board of directors, including Maria
Otero, and Richard H. Carmona, M.D. Our invaluable executive team
includes Miguel Fernandez, Executive Vice President of the Americas and
Global Distributor Operation; Ibi Fleming, Senior Vice President and
Managing Director of North America; and Angela Arboleda, Vice President
of Government and Community Affairs. We also count on the advice and
training of our experts, including Rocio Medina, M.D., Vice President of
Worldwide Nutrition Training.
“Throughout this month, we will use our social media and digital
channels to shine a spotlight on our partnerships with leading Latino
organizations and promote the benefits our Hispanic members are bringing
to communities.
“We will continue working beside our Latino members to encourage
stronger, healthier Hispanic families across the U.S.”
