WHO WE ARE

We are the Wellbeing Collective Group at Unilever, focused on building and growing brands in the health and wellness space. Wellbeing is a large and dynamic global category that spans Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements, alongside adjacent areas of functional hydration and nutrition.

OUR BUSINESS

Unilever’s Wellbeing Collective Group brings together a portfolio of high growth health and wellness brands built to help people feel better every day. The group includes a set of category leading brands acquired in the US including OLLY, Liquid I.V., Nutrafol, SmartyPants, Welly and Onnit, as well as Equilibra (Italy). Each brand is distinct in purpose, proposition and culture, yet united by a shared focus on delivering superior consumer experiences across health and wellbeing. We are committed to continuing to grow this strategic business for Unilever by leveraging the full strength of Unilever’s capabilities, including expanding the reach of our portfolio internationally.

We work in an agile, fast-moving environment, collaboratively within the team and with our Unilever colleagues around the world. We work in a project-based, networked way where everyone needs to be able to take a step back and think strategically, as well as roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty, to be entrepreneurial and experiment, as well as bring in the best of Unilever and work the structures of a large company, and to take charge and lead, as well as follow and support others.
