David Brown is the co-founder, Chairman and CEO of ACTIVZ, a West Jordan, Utah direct-selling company he launched in 2017 with longtime partner Ryan Thompson. A self-described 'recovering lawyer' with a J.D. from Cornell and a Japanese degree from BYU, Brown traded corporate law for the nutrition business in 1994 and went on to lead some of the industry's best-known turnarounds - tripling Natural Balance, building Metabolife into the world's largest retail diet brand, and taking LifeVantage from roughly $3 million to more than $200 million. With ACTIVZ he built a multinational from day one, launching in Mexico before the United States and reaching markets across Latin America and Japan.
Lennie Sliwinski is the co-founder and CEO of Trusted Health (Trusted, Inc.), a San Francisco-based healthcare technology company he launched in 2017. Inspired by watching his mother navigate the chaos of nursing staffing, he built the leading labor marketplace and workforce management platform for healthcare professionals, growing the platform to over half a million nurse profiles and partnerships with hospitals in all 50 states. With $234M raised across three funding rounds, Trusted went from digitizing the travel nursing placement process to launching Works - a full enterprise workforce OS for health systems. Before Trusted, Sliwinski cut his teeth as a Cornell-trained lawyer who never practiced law, a performance marketer at Adlucent, and Director of Marketing at Hired in San Francisco.
