About Matt Leytman

For a decade, I have been in a space I love leading finance organizations at growing health and wellness businesses.I am the CFO of Cora, the #1 natural feminine care company, sold nationwide on Amazon, Target and other Mass retailers. At KinderFarms as CFO, I led financial strategy and operations for a rapidly growing Kids\' Over the Counter Medicine and Oral Electrolyte brand in the \"better for you\" space, co-founded by Jessica Biel and Jeremy Adams. With nationwide distribution at Walmart, drugstores, and grocery, KinderFarms is committed to offering healthier alternatives to traditional products.Previously, I led Commercial Finance, Reporting and Accounting at Vital Proteins since June 2018. As Chief Financial Officer, my responsibilities included leading business and financial strategy and risk management overseeing all areas of the business. I was instrumental in the company’s growth and operations both pre and post-acquisition of Vital Proteins in June 2020. Nestle Health Science completed the full acquisition of Vital Proteins in January 2022. From 2016 to 2018, I led Accounting and Controlling operations for Glanbia Performance Nutrition over the North America division. Prior to that, I obtained my CPA and worked 7 years at Ernst & Young, 5 years in Chicago and 2 years in London overseeing audits of major retail and consumer, oil and gas, and banking companies. I hold a Bachelor and Master of Science in Accountancy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I live in the Chicago area with my family.
