Herbalife Adds Three, Promotes Two

Herbalife is expanding the company’s global corporate affairs team based in Los Angeles. The global nutrition marketer welcomes three experienced individuals to the global leadership team: Ric Hobby, who will serve as the company’s senior vice president for global government relations; Megan Jordan, who will serve as the company’s senior vice president for global corporate communications; and Randall Popelka, who will serve as vice president, government and industry affairs.

Two present members of the team, Julian Cacchioli and Elaine Pacheco will take on new responsibilities within the global corporate affairs team as the office undergoes a significant expansion and reorganization.

Ric Hobby will lead the global government relations team after 27 years with the company, most recently serving as the vice president, worldwide regulatory, government and industry affairs, based in Australia.

Megan Jordan joins Herbalife and will lead the global corporate communications office after managing communications at one of the country's largest utilities, Southern California Edison.

Randall Popelka joins Herbalife’s Washington, D.C. office after working for over two decades on Capitol Hill, in the administration of President George W. Bush and in the private sector. He will work with thought leaders in our Nation’s Capitol and focus on legislative, administrative and regulatory issues in his new role.

Julian Cacchioli will continue in his role as vice president of global corporate communications but will also take on the added responsibility of coordinating the company’s global public policy strategy and will oversee the company’s important and growing corporate social responsibility program.

Elaine Pacheco brings extensive knowledge of the company, employees and members having previously worked as the manager of employee communications for Herbalife. In her new role as strategic project manager in the office of the executive vice president for global corporate affairs, Elaine will be responsible for coordinating special projects and managing cross-functional teams within the global corporate affairs team.
 
 “I am excited to welcome Ric, Megan, Randall, Julian and Elaine to their new roles within Herbalife’s growing global corporate affairs team,” said Alan Hoffman, executive vice president, global corporate affairs, Herbalife. “These talented individuals bring extensive experience that will be incredibly valuable to Herbalife as we continue to bring innovative and nutritious products and programs to communities around the globe.”
