Former Avon CEO named CEO of Univera
Stuart Ochiltree has been named Chief Executive Officer of Univera LifeSciences™ effective today, July 25, 2006.
Bill Lee (ECONET Owner) made the announcement this morning to the staff at Univera West, thanking ECONET CEO and Vice Chairman Derek Hall for his many months of dedicated service and great success as acting CEO of Univera LifeSciences™.
We wish to welcome back Stuart as our CEO (as you will recall, he held that position until an illness in the family forced him to step down as CEO of Oasis). Mr. Lee prefaced his announcement of Stuart’s role as CEO by explaining that he was one of three men who sat in a room together in Colorado one decade ago and dreamed of a company that would one day be the point of distribution for The ECONET; the three men were H.Y. Sung, Bill Lee and Stuart Ochiltree.
Mr. Lee went on to say that we are all excited that Derek will be now able to focus on the many challenges and opportunities facing The ECONET as we move forward with our plans of global expansion.
Both men exemplify the vision of YunHo Lee and his son, Bill, in making every endeavor to bring the best of nature to mankind in a manner conducive to the principles taught by YunHo Lee and believed widely throughout The ECONET today.
Bo Short's Letter to Passport Associates
Dear Passport Independent Associates,
In 2001, I founded Passport as a solution to a problem that I
encountered in the network marketing industry. I wanted people to have a fair
opportunity to accomplish their goals in an honest environment. I
surveyed the marketplace at the time and could not find a company that seemed
to provide the environment that I wanted to be a part of. Thus, I
launched Passport, LLC.
Passport was designed to be fair, simple, and easy to explain.
Since its launch, Passport has shown a profit each month. As in any new
company there were areas that needed improvement and we addressed them
as they arose. During a meeting with Ty Tribble (president) and Dave
Stone (vice president) we discussed a number of areas in which we thought
Passport needed to make advancements. Enhanced compensation (within our
unilevel plan) providing depth bonuses, multiple enrollment options,
enhanced back-office features, expansion into Canada, create a closer
sense of team and community, dramatically increase Associate income, and
the addition of various cutting edge products were but a few of the
items under review. Each one of these enhancements would represent a major
step forward in our progression as a team, enabling our Independent
Associates to develop more customers, enhance their network of fellow
Associates and realize a greater return on their time investment.
It was during this time period that a friend contacted me with a way
for us to take a giant leap forward in our evolution as a group of people
committed to the same ideals and goals. That individual was Marshall
Douglas. After numerous discussions it was apparent to Ty, Dave and
myself that the Passport team had, not only the opportunity to be a part of
something that met each requirement we laid out, but also offered all
of us a more progressive vehicle with which we could positively impact
our industry.
During our conversations Marshall asked me if I was “married” to
Passport as a means to accomplish our goals. My response was, and always has
been the same; I am committed to being a part of an honest, fair
company and provide my friends/associates with a way to accomplish their
goals without the negative influences associated with so many network
marketing companies. Period. I told him that I did not launch Passport for
any other reason than I could not find the same values and principles in
another company. I am proud to announce that we have been invited to
partner with Marshall Douglass and take a giant leap forward in our
evolution.
Ironically, while Passport was getting its start, so to was a company
called Oasis LifeSciences. In fact, our goals were very similar. Their
Chairman was formerly the CEO and President of Avon. Through his
leadership Avon grew from $700 million dollars to become the largest direct
sales company in the world. In addition, their CEO was the President/CEO
of Nature’s Way as well as the former Sr. V.P. of McKesson Drug
Company. As a point of interest Marshall Douglas, over the past 18 months, has
become the 9th largest bonus check recipient in Oasis LifeSciences and
currently serves as Vice Chairman of their Field Leadership Council. We
will be working directly with him.
Oasis LifeSciences was founded by Bill Lee. His holdings include
AloeCorp--the world’s largest producer of raw aloe. In fact, AloeCorp aloe is
used in thousands of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and functional foods
products, from Gillette to Johnson and Johnson. Among his other
holdings Mr. Lee owns Unigen Pharmaceuticals. His companies have more combined
research space, more scientists, more published studies, patents and
publications than any other natural products company in the world.
As stated in their literature, “The Oasis LifeSciences is the ‘point of
the spear’ - a delivery vehicle for the vast economic network of
companies owned by Bill Lee who calls his companies collectively an ECONET, a
global resource structure unmatched by any in the neutraceutical
industry.”
The opportunity we all have been presented with mirrors the initiatives
that were currently underway in Passport.
For example:
1. Multiple enrollment options
2. Cutting-edge, scientifically developed product line
3. Unilevel pay plan w/lucrative depth bonuses
4. Product-driven focus
5. Customer development
6. Team orientation
7. Canada launch in February ‘06
8. Increased compensation to Associates
Rest assured that the high quality Passport products will still be
available to you and your customers. However, we will dissolve our
multi-level compensation plan and offer our products directly to you at a major
discount. You will be able to service your customers (and your own
household) and make more money in the process. I will send a separate memo
detailing this shortly.
Needless to say I am thrilled with this development. I have always
stated that we were going to make an enormous difference in this industry.
This giant step forward, for each individual associated with Passport,
offers us the opportunity to do so much faster. I am also convinced
that this offers your family the opportunity to achieve your personal
financial goals in an expedited fashion.
We will be updating you regularly. In fact, this gives me the
opportunity to get back to the work I love; being in the field with people I
admire. I look forward to seeing you face-to-face and continuing to grow
together.
Always Lead,
Robert “Bo” Short
Washington Governer Welcomes Univera
The following is a clip from Washington State Governor, Gary Locke's January 2004 speech welcoming Univera to Washington. Univera is the parent company of Oasis LifeSciences, Aloecorp and Unigen.
We are thrilled that Univera’s move to Washington state is now a reality. This will mean more jobs for our state – ultimately generating some 300 good-paying jobs for the citizens of Lacey and the surrounding South Sound area.
Univera’s move to Washington state is yet another success of our trade missions. It is further proof that our trade missions pay off, and create jobs for our citizens.
For international trade to be successful, it is dependent upon building and nurturing personal relationships.
Univera is exactly the kind of company that we’re working to attract to Washington state. It is a biotechnology company, deriving vitamins, soaps and cosmetics from aloe plants. Univera is a holding company for three separate companies:
· Aloecorp is a multinational company that provides only the best biologically active Aloe Vera raw material worldwide.
· Oasis Wellness Network (Oasis LifeSciences) is the world’s leading anti-aging company, committed to carrying out scientific research and development of innovative and natural products that promote quality of life.
· Unigen Pharmaceuticals is a leading natural products research and development company and proprietary ingredients supplier.
The Science Behind Univera Products
As part of the international family of companies that comprise the ECONET, Univera has access to more than 100,000 square feet of state-of-the-art research facilities between South Korea and the U.S. In fact, we have more combined research space, more scientists, more published studies, patents and publications than any other natural products company. We also have 140,000 acres of primal forest and about 15,000 acres of other land under cultivation. Nowhere else on earth is anyone devoting the massive resources and talent at cracking the code of the aging process to produce a new generation of unique and exclusive wellness and healthy aging products.
We start with the highest quality raw materials from our farms and forests around the world. We then test the ingredients and formulas at the DNA level - a process called Genomics. No other natural products company uses Genomics to test its products. Finally we complete the chain of bringing those products from farm to family to your door by using state of the art manufacturing techniques and equipment.
Your body's ability to repair, rebuild and regenerate 300 billion new cells daily is a function of three important factors - Raw Materials, Energy and Renewal Signals. From birth to 25, Raw Materials are the necessary building blocks. From 25 to 35 your Energy level drops and some basic functions begin to cut corners. After 35, your body loses its ability to produce Renewal Signals. Univera has developed unique, proprietary formulas and products to address the root causes of aging during the three phases of the aging lifecycle.
Univera Lifesciences - The Company
Univera LifeSciences is the "point of the spear" - a delivery vehicle for the vast economic network of companies owned by Bill Lee who calls his companies collectively an ECONET, a global resource structure unmatched by any in the neutraceutical industry.
Among the companies in Mr. Lee's ECONET are AloeCorp--the world leader in the production of raw aloe, NamYang Aloe--Korea's greatest direct sales company, and Unigen East and West-the research and manufacturing companies that help produce the world's best natural healthy-aging products. The Lee family holdings are valued at close to a billion dollars, and the ECONET continues to grow every day.
AloeCorp—from nature’s bounty to your body
In 1988, Bill Lee established AloeCorp which has grown into the world’s largest producer of aloe vera. AloeCorp aloe is used in thousands of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and functional foods products, from Gillette to Johnson and Johnson. Mr. Lee will soon pioneer the growing of aloe vera in Asia with a new plantation of land in China, and he recently secured the usage rights to more than 125,000 acres of land in Russia where he is currently harvesting a variety of herbs. These new acquisitions coupled with well-established vendor relationships throughout India, China and Europe, provide a wealth of ingredients that no other company can match. The aloe plants are grown in organic soils and fed super-concentrated nutrients under optimal growing conditions. The facilities that process the aloe are certified organic which means that no chemical contaminants ever touch the aloe destined for Oasis products and your body.
Unigen—science that sets us apart
Unigen Pharmaceuticals is the research and development branch of the ECONET with a world-class team of professionals running state-of-the-art laboratories including cell culture, analytical and quality control, and high through-put screening labs with over 80,000 square feet of manufacturing facility. The scientists at Unigen have a fully-equipped genomic laboratory which allows them to study plant extracts at the gene level. This allows them to know with absolute precision just how effective each extract is. Genomic research can uncover volumes of information regarding a bioactive agent by providing the means to analyze on the most basic of levels. Utilizing the breakthrough studies of DNA replication, RNA transcription, and RNA translation, Unigen scientists can better understand the nature of the substance through gene expression. They also use a proteomics approach that allows them to investigate the basic proteins generated by DNA.
Oasis Lifesciences
As part of the international family of companies that comprise the ECONET, Oasis has access to more than 100,000 square feet of research facilities between South Korea and the U.S. In fact, we have more combined research space, more scientists, more studies, patents and publications than any other natural products company. Nowhere else on earth is anyone devoting the massive resources and talent required to make the dream of healthy aging a reality. Oasis celebrates its 6th anniversary in 2005. Construction is underway on a new, 40 acre campus in Lacey, Washington which will become our new home. Oasis LifeSciences is proud to be part of this rich history—and proud of the leaders who have made this vision a reality.
Passport LLC and Team Univera LifesSciences
Ironically, while Passport was getting its start, so too was a company called Univera LifeSciences. In fact, the goals of both companies are very similar.
The Univera LifeSciences Chairman was formerly the CEO and President of Avon. Through his leadership Avon grew from $700 million dollars to become the largest direct sales company in the world. In addition, their CEO was the President/CEO of Nature’s Way as well as the former Sr. V.P. of McKesson Drug Company. Additionally, Marshall Douglas, Vice Chairman of their Field Leadership Council, has extensive experience in the network marketing industry and is one of Oasis LifeSciences highest bonus check recipients. The Passport team will be working directly with Marshall.
Univera LifeSciences was founded by Bill Lee. His holdings include AloeCorp--the world’s largest producer of raw aloe. In fact, AloeCorp aloe is used in thousands of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and functional foods products, from Gillette to Johnson and Johnson. Among his other holdings Mr. Lee owns Unigen Pharmaceuticals.

The Univera Lifesciences opportunity mirrors the initiatives that were currently underway in Passport LLC. For example:
- Multiple enrollment options
- Cutting-edge Scientifically developed product line
- Unilevel pay plan w/lucrative depth bonuses
- Product-driven focus
- Customer development
- Team orientation
- Canada launch in February ‘06
- Increased compensation to Associates
According to Passport CEO Bo Short:
Univera LifeSciences allows us access to a company with superior products and resources thus enabling us to take a bold step forward in our evolution as a group of people committed to building a business based on honest, ethical practices. I am proud of our executive leadership and their vision. Most importantly, I am proud of their willingness to set aside their personal interests for that of the team.
Univera LifeSciences - A Simple Explanation
As the author of MLM Business Opportunities Blog, I have had the chance to look at hundreds of Network Marketing companies. When I look at a company, I usually focus on three areas:
1. The Product
2. The Company
3. The Compensation
Let's start with the Univera LifeSciences products and company. Simply put, Univera LifeSciences is a Biotech company with a pipeline of products that will be coming to market via the Network Marketing model. These are unique products backed by dozens of scientists, dozens of patents and the resources of Bill Lee, owner of Univera LifeSciences and the ECONET. The ECONET includes Unigen Pharmaceuticals (the R & D arm of the ECONET), Aloecorp (the worlds largest producer of Aloe Vera) and Univera LifeSciences (the Network Marketing arm of the ECONET).
You would be hard pressed to find a more experienced and successful corporate leadership team, lead by Stuart Ochiltree, former CEO of Avon. Mr. Ochiltree was at the helm of Avon as it went from a $700 Million company to a $4.5 Billion company.
The Univera LifeSciences compensation plan is the most lucrative plan in the industry. The compensation is fair and balanced, yet it pays a higher percentage in depth (leadership) bonus' that any company I have ever seen. The balance of a retail commission of 15-30%, Unilevel Compensation of 3-15%, Leadership Generational Bonuses of 5-14%, a "fast start" bonus of up to $300 and weekly production bonuses plus free product bonuses.
