Angela Guerrant currently serves as Vice President of Sales for Gaia Herbs and sees her role at Gaia as the culmination of a love affair with the natural products industry that began when she was 16 years old, working in the supplement aisles of her local health food store, and continues to this day. Angela spent the first 8 years of her career leading operations for a chain of natural products stores, which imbued her with a strong sense of how to create successful retail/manufacturer partnerships, and a crucial understanding of the important work that takes place on the floor of natural products stores nationwide. Prior to joining Gaia, Angela served as Director of Sales for Enzymatic Therapy. Her tenure at ET was spent building national and regional retail partnerships, supporting and empowering the sales team, and celebrating strong sales and best practices. She is a passionate advocate for the change that enlightened choices in consumerism can bring, and believes that we each have a powerful role in that mission.
