For the Biome was launched last year by Paul and Barbi Schulick, natural products industry leaders who founded New Chapter in 1982; the company was acquired by Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 2012 and theSchulicks left P&Gin 2018 to launch For The Biome.
For The Biome President, Kelli Rooney Hanzalik, said in a press release, “Jim and Allison’s support and strategic expertise will enable our mission to grow quickly and flourish.” Ms. Hanzalik was a key player in New Chapter’s corporate management team, who, along with the Schulicks, spurred the company’s growth that ultimately led to its acquisition by P&G.
“We simply could not be happier,” said Barbi Schulick in the release. “Finding values-aligned partners was an imperative for us, and the opportunity to work with Jim and Allison is a dream come true.”
Crook, who has over 35 years of leadership experience and a strong track record of growing companies in Vermont and beyond, including serving as the former CEO of IDX Systems Corporation and playing lead governance roles in Aspenti Health, DealerPolicy, RCxRules, MediRevv and Greensea Systems, added, “Really smart people with a really good idea and the proven experience of scaling a business makes investment decisions easy,” said . “Barbi, Paul and Kelli are those people. In addition, and very importantly, our respective approaches to building companies by always putting the customer first and treating our team members with dignity and respect, are principles that both JHCapital and For The Biome share.”
