Globallee Review: Pref customer focus but questionable retail viability

Globallee are based out of Texas and operate in the nutritional supplement MLM niche.

Globallee do provide executive information on their website, although for some reason the company’s co-founders are only presented as “industry experts”.

Further research reveals Globallee’s “industry experts” are co-owners of the company; Mark McKnight (CEO), Lamia Bettaieb (President) and Nauder Khazan (Chairman).

In his Globallee corporate bio, McKnight is credited with

creating and manufacturing products for the direct selling industry for twenty-five years.

McKnight’s LinkedIn bio details his work in the nutritional supplement niche dating back to 1995, as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ACI “Natural Products”.

In 2008 McKnight appears to have gone solo as a Senior Industry Consultant.

In 2010 he then signed on as President of Healthy Natural, a role in which he oversaw

new product development, key customer relations and overall administrative duties.

In 2017 McKnight returned to independent consulting, up until the launch of Globallee in January 2019.

Lamia Bettaieb was a top earner in World Global Network.

Nauder Khazan first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2011, as founder and CEO of Stiforp.

Stiforp combined useless marketing with pyramid recruitment. The company website is still up today although the status of the business is unknown (the website is just a login page).

In addition to Stiforp Khazan also runs AliveMax, a spray supplement and personal care MLM opportunity.

As with Stiforp, AliveMax still appears to be operational.

iGalen Review: Pay to play $79.95 onion powder?

iGalen operates in the nutritional supplement MLM niche.

The company launched in early 2017 and is headed up by co-founders Chan Heng Fai and Rajen Manicka.

Both Fai and Manicka hold executives positions in Holista Colltech Limited.

Fai (right) is Holista Colltech’s Director and Manicka is cited as Executive Chairman.

An ASX announcement dated February 2015 reveals iGalen is a Malaysian MLM company that launched in January 2015.

Holista entered into a supply contract with iGalen a month later in February.

Sometime between February 2015 and late 2017, Malaysian based Holista merged with CollTech Australia Ltd.

This created Holista Colltech, which according to their website is ‘headquartered in Perth with extensive operations in Malaysia‘.

In September 2017 Holista CollTech acquired a 47% stake in iGalen for $1.

Holista CollTech’s press-release at the time also revealed

iGalen’s major shareholder is Singapore Exchange-listed Singapore eDevelopment Limited.

Singapore eDevelopment is headed up by Holista CollTech’s Chan Heng Fai.

There’s obviously some corporate nuance here but given that Holista CollTech executives own and operate iGalen, for all intents and purposes they’re the same company.

iGalen do provide a suite address in Florida on their website, but it seems the company is for the most part run out of Malaysia.

One thing I noticed on Singapore eDevelopment Limited’s website is that they conduct their network marketing business through Health Wealth Happiness.

Through Health Wealth Happiness, Fai appears to have a corporate interest in Elepreneurs and Elevacity.

As far as I can tell, Rajen Manicka doesn’t have an MLM history.
