Leanne Montgomery Capstone Nutrition

BY MARLISS SCOTT

IImagine you’re a single mother of two children. You decide to move from South Africa to the U.S. where you know only one person, and that person lives in Utah. You’ve had a successful career back home, but now you must start from scratch

That’sexactly what Leanne Montgomery, Senior Sales Director with INW Capstone Nutrition, did.

Leanne brought her technical sales background to INW Capstone Nutrition and worked her way up, starting 26 years ago as an internal Account Manager. “You have to make it happen,” shared Leanne. “Capstone was a small company when I first started. They have good leadership and are employee centered. The culture is good here. If you work hard you will advance.”

And advance she did. She eventually became Director of Account Management for almost 21 years, then Sales Director for 2 years, and is currently the Senior Sales Director.

INW Capstone Nutrition located in Ogden is a full turnkey contract manufacturer of cutting-edge health and wellness products— capsules, tablets, and powders for dietary supplements and sports nutrition. INW Capstone takes their customers’ concept from the drawing board to the packaged product, and people like Leanne, along with the full team at INW Capstone, make it happen. Their products include protein powders (whey and plant-based), vitamin/herbal powders, collagen powders, amino acid supplements, capsules, and tablets in many packaging forms.

Capstone has teams of experts that take customers from product formulation and dosing formats to cutting edge production capabilities, packaging innovation, and industry-leading testing services.

According to Leanne, the nutritional supplement contract manufacturing industry, “is a close-knit industry, where everyone knows everyone. What makes Capstone Nutrition stand out from the rest are their values of ‘GO BIG’ and ‘Serving with CARE,’ as well their people, processes and performance.”

“I find that very motivating,” said Leanne. “People get to know you – your customers and your competitors and you build a reputation. You do what you say you’re going to do, and the sky is the limit.”

Leanne has always had a passion for sales, customers and negotiating. “I like the challenge of my job. I have found it to be very rewarding.”

Starting over in a new country. Being a single mother. Having to prove yourself all over again in your career. Leanne serves as an inspiration for perseverance.

“I’ve never been one to backdown,” shares Leanne. And for that, INW Capstone Nutrition is grateful.
