"Chris' appointment as chief brand officer is the next major step in our strategic plan to focus on marketing and communications," said Gil Peter, director of Capsalus Corp., (OTCBB:WELL), foru's parent company. "We sought to recruit Chris from one of our most notable competitors because of the outstanding work he did rebranding their industry-leading marketing program."

Prior to joining foru (www.foru.com), Schultenover was vice president of global brand experience for ViSalus, Inc., where he was responsible for enhancing and rebranding the corporate identity and all of the company's marketing assets, including corporate and promoter websites, starter kits, product packaging, mobile tools, and, most notably, the iconic Body by Vi Challenge, the fastest growing weight loss and fitness program in North America and the driver behind $300+ million in revenue growth for ViSalus in 2012. A recognized expert in the development of field sales tools, Schultenover was the creative force behind ViSalus' "The Challenge" magazine, and created the award winning Vi-Anthem video.

Additionally, Schultenover was the owner and president of 360e, an award-winning virtual brand agency providing brand strategy and creative direction for several fast-growing, direct-selling companies like Arbonne, Jafra and others in the health, beauty and fitness categories. He also earned a reputation for connecting brands to consumers from his work as a senior executive producer at the largest experiential marketing agency—Jack Morton Worldwide. There he leveraged a wide variety of mediums including events, product showcases, experience design, marketing communications, mobile marketing and videos to engage consumers for marquee clients like Sara Lee, Intel, CBS, Amgen, Mazda, Hyundai and Merle Norman Cosmetics.

"I'm excited to bring my passion for marketing and branding to a company that has a world-class, one-of-a-kind product," said Schultenover.
