For The Biome, the Vermont-based wellness and skin care company launched last year by Paul and Barbi Schulick, has announced a partnership with the JHCapital family office of Jim Crook and Allison Maino. With more than 35 years of leadership experience and a track record of growing companies in Vermont and beyond, Crook is the former CEO of IDX Systems Corporation and plays lead governance roles in Aspenti Health, DealerPolicy, RCxRules, MediRevv and Greensea Systems, among others.

The Schulicks originally founded the New Chapter supplement company in 1982, which was acquired by Procter & Gamble seven years ago. They left P&G last year to launch their latest venture, For The Biome, which they are positioning to impact the wellness/skin care space in the same way that New Chapter led the natural products industry.

“We simply could not be happier,” said Barbi Schulick. “Finding values-aligned partners was an imperative for us, and the opportunity to work with Jim and Allison is a dream come true.”
