for Second Consecutive Year
Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF), a global nutrition company, welcomed
45 high school students from Prepa Tecnológico de Monterrey’s
Chihuahua Campus to its Los Angeles offices on Friday, May 1 for a
roundtable discussion about the company, its business model,
operations and products. This marks the second year of the
partnership, which the educational institution’s faculty and staff

During the two-hour casual roundtable discussion, Herbalife
executives shared information with the students regarding the
company’s manufacturing facilities, quality control initiatives and
global marketing activities, which include sports sponsorships
around the world, such as soccer teams the Los Angeles Galaxy in
the U.S. and Pumas in Mexico.
“What really interested me was the company’s mission and vision,
and how they started selling the product. I also liked the fact
that they support their employees and they help people lead
healthier lives,” stated seventeen-year-old student Diana
Mendez.
The session also included an open Q&A, where students had an
opportunity to ask executives particular questions regarding items
not covered during the formal presentations. “Visiting Herbalife is
very important to me, because in our curriculum we study strategic
planning, and explore what it’s like to manage a corporation,
whether small, big or multinational, like Herbalife. As a program
director, this access to senior executives gives our students the
opportunity to visualize themselves as corporate leaders, and gain
knowledge about how to manage a business of this magnitude,” stated
Sofia Reyes Beltran, director, business innovation and management,
Prepa Tecnológico de Monterrey, Chihuahua Campus.
The informal partnership between Prepa Tecnológico de Monterrey
in Chihuahua and Herbalife was initiated by the institution’s
faculty as a result of the company’s significant presence in
Mexico. “At Herbalife we are delighted to share our company’s
mission and history, as well as discuss the many advantages of our
channel to market with these young students. It is always a
pleasure to welcome them for a healthy breakfast, and we look
forward to many more years of this annual tradition,” concluded Ibi
Fleming, senior vice president and managing director, Herbalife
North America.
