Our Team
Jay Valentine
Founder
Jay graduated from TCI with an Associates in Digital Media Arts and pursued his Bachelors of Science in Computer Information Systems with a minor in Forensic Programming at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
He established his first LLC in 2005 where he provided web base and marketing services. Jay has gone on to work on high level projects where he led teams for American Express, Scandinavian Airlines, and Kyani Nutraceutical.
His passion for nutrition began to take off with the mentorship of Dr. Qutab who led the Kyani nutraceutical project. Jay helped the company grow from hundreds to millions of customers within a 2 year period by pushing his team to use the traditional direct to consumer approach and allowing word of mouth to organically expand the products brand. This experience of success and helping so many with health issues led to him spinning up small companies that are focused on health and nutrition.
