General Session: Bringing Consumer Healthcare Into the Global Public Health Conversation: Opportunities for the Private Sector with NGOs
In this session Alex Chefetz of Greenwich Capital Group will provide a unique perspective on the role NGOs are having in the global conversation around supplementation and multivitamins as they relate to a global public health intervention. Taking a historical approach to how NGOs and businesses have partnered traditionally – this new framework of public/private partnership will explore how advocacy of governments, NGOs and academia can lay the groundwork for a global transformation of the supplementation industry. The missing piece to this complex equation is the private sector. Chefetz will walk companies through how leaning in and listening with an NGO partner can build brand awareness, equity and global reach.
Featuring case studies from Smarty Pants, Indonesia and Vitamin Angels, an NGO working in the maternal and child nutrition space, we will illustrate how the private sector and advocating for nutrition access to those most at risk resulted in significant Corporate ROI and Enterprise Value creation for the small and larger, forward thinking Consumer Health companies.
