Before that, he was CFO at The Nature’s Bounty Company, a $3+ billion health and wellness consumer products company with brands including Holland & Barrett. Dipak also spent seven transformative months as CFO of Chobani, helping structure the rapidly growing company through capital raising and private equity partnerships.

Earlier in his career, Dipak spent 18 years at Procter & Gamble in finance and operations leadership roles across multiple geographies. His P&G career began in London, followed by an early expatriate assignment to Caracas, Venezuela. He held finance leadership positions during the Clairol acquisition, in corporate treasury, and in global M&A, and later became Global Divisional CFO and COO for Pringles, one of P&G’s youngest executives to hold this role. His final position at P&G was leading finance for the global feminine care division.
