Mitch Gould, the founder and CEO of Nutritional Products International (NPI), has reached a significant milestone, celebrating more than four decades of leadership and innovation in the retail distribution and brand building sector. Gould's career has been marked by his ability to forge relationships with major retailers and his foresight in identifying and capitalizing on market trends, particularly in the health, wellness, and sports nutrition industries.
Throughout his career, Gould has been instrumental in securing product placements for hundreds of brands in leading retail chains such as Walmart, Costco, and GNC. His early work with big-box retailers during their nationwide expansion phase laid the groundwork for his later successes in the health and wellness sector. Gould's collaboration with high-profile athletes and celebrities to launch their product lines in national retail chains has left a lasting impact on the fitness and lifestyle brand market.
One of Gould's notable achievements includes his role in assisting Amazon to develop its sports nutrition category, which has grown into the thriving Muscle Foods segment. His anticipation of retail shifts and trends has made NPI a sought-after partner for both domestic and international companies looking to enter or expand in the U.S. market.
Recognizing the challenges faced by overseas brands, Gould developed the "Evolution of Distribution" platform. This innovative approach provides global brands with a comprehensive, cost-effective solution for entering the U.S. market, covering everything from importation and compliance to sales strategy and logistics. "We created a single point of entry—a proven system that handles the heavy lifting and dramatically increases their chances of success," Gould explained.
In addition to NPI, Gould founded InHealth Media (IHM), a PR and media agency that works alongside NPI to offer brands a full-service solution encompassing distribution, promotion, and sustained visibility. Together, NPI and IHM have supported a wide range of brands, from startups to multinational corporations, in achieving success in the competitive U.S. market.
