Vice President, Supply Chain & Logistics

Moab, Utah
The Synergy Company
At The Synergy Company™, we believe that everyone deserves to be well-in body, mind, and spirit. Our intrinsic care for the well-being of people inspires our work to create the most natural and effective dietary supplement products. Our formulas, ingredients, and processes preserve and protect the many gifts and advantages of nature while utilizing the innovations of modern nutritional science. We stand out in the business world by aligning our entire organization with our independent ownership and values driven stewardship. We foster meaningful work for our entire staff that supports the whole person and affirm the highest standards in our finished products that provide genuine benefit to the health and well-being of our consumers.

Founded in 1992, we choose to remain privately owned and directly engaged. As a certified B Corp, we intentionally manage every detail of our business from start to finish, leaving nothing to chance-from the organic soil growing our carefully sourced heirloom seeds to the protective oxygen impermeable seals on our glass bottles. We source our premium ingredients from the highest-quality, most sustainable producers around the world. Those ingredients are manufactured into our products in our award-winning, wind-powered, certified organic facility located in beautiful Moab, Utah-an adventure-filled destination that is envied the world over. We keep full control of our ingredients, manufacturing, and distribution-giving us the independence to guarantee the highest possible quality standards and the most valuable consumer experience. We prioritize our consumers by offering our Pure Synergy® products direct from our factory through our e-commerce platform and we couple that with a highly knowledgeable and caring consumer service team.

Today, The Synergy Company™ is building upon its remarkable success. We are poised to enter new markets and continue expanding our positive impact. We are innovating and implementing new ways of thinking and working. But perhaps most importantly, we are actively aligning our company-down to its ownership, governance, organization, and culture-towards our long-term purpose of consumer and employee wellness, lifting-up our community, and environmental sustainability.
