In the competitive and highly regulated world of U.S. health and wellness retail, few executives have built the credibility, relationships, and results-driven reputation of Mitch Gould. Known throughout the industry as the “Rock Star of Retail,” Gould has become the trusted launch partner for celebrity-backed, athlete-led, and international health and wellness brands entering the United States.

From action icon Steven Seagal to wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, along with professional athletes and global wellness entrepreneurs, one common decision connects their success stories: they partnered with Mitch Gould and Nutritional Products International (NPI) to introduce and scale their brands in the U.S. market.

Health, nutrition, and wellness brands face unique challenges—regulatory complexity, retailer scrutiny, crowded categories, and the need for immediate consumer trust. Gould’s career has been built specifically on navigating those challenges and turning high-profile names and innovative wellness products into viable retail businesses.

Through NPI, Gould has helped launch and scale brands across:

• Nutritional supplements and functional nutrition

• Sports nutrition and performance products

• Natural health and wellness formulations

• Beauty-from-within and lifestyle wellness brands

• International health brands entering the U.S. market

Mitch understands health and wellness retail at a level most people never reach,” said one industry insider. “He knows what buyers will say yes to—and what consumers will actually buy.

Unlike traditional distributors or one-dimensional brokers, NPI operates as a fully integrated market entry and growth platform purpose-built for health and wellness brands.

This approach has been formalized and expanded through NPI’s proprietary Evolution of Distribution® platform—developed from decades of real-world retail execution.

NPI recently announced major enhancements to its Evolution of Distribution® platform, transforming it into a true end-to-end U.S. market entry solution for health and wellness brands.

The expanded platform includes:

• Global logistics and freight forwarding, moving products from international origins directly to the Port of Miami

• Expanded U.S. warehousing and inventory management, supporting national retail distribution

• Retail sales and buyer engagement, leveraging long-standing relationships in health, wellness, grocery, and specialty retail

• Marketing, PR, and brand storytelling, designed to build trust and demand in crowded wellness categories

• Ongoing account management and sell-through support, focused on long-term shelf performance

Health and wellness brands can’t afford fragmented execution,” said Mitch Gould, Founder and CEO of Nutritional Products International. “Evolution of Distribution® was built to give brands one accountable partner—from manufacturing to retail shelf and beyond.

Today, NPI continues to serve as the behind-the-scenes launch engine for celebrity-backed wellness brands, athlete-driven nutrition products, and international health companies seeking success in the United States.
