VDF FutureCeuticals, Inc. reported that Hartley Pond, senior vice president, has retired from the company. Pond joined FutureCeuticals in 1999 as one of FutureCeuticals' first employees and its very first salesperson.
Since then and for the past 22 years, Pond has been an integral part of the FutureCeuticals team as the company grew and developed. He has been a champion for the innovation that is baked into FutureCeuticals' DNA. He traveled the country (and the world) to initiate and establish many of our key business partnerships in the industry.
Upon his retirement from FutureCeuticals, Pond reported that he will be launching his own consumer-facing company soon, called DailyColors Health Inc.
