Don McCulloch
Don McCulloch is the Founder and Chairman of MPS Capital, a private investment firm based in Philadelphia which focuses on consumer products and internet companies. After graduating from Harvard (BA and MBA), Don embarked on a marketing-focused career in business which included major responsibilities at General Foods, Pepsico, Warnaco’s C. F. Hathaway division, and culminated at Nutrisystem, where as President and CEO he turned around that well-known weight loss system at a crucial stage in its history.
Throughout his business career, Don was involved in non-profit and volunteer activities, beginning with the Young Presidents’ Organizations in both Connecticut and Philadelphia. He has served on the boards of the Franklin Institute Science Museum, the Haverford School, Main Line Health System, and the Thomas Jefferson Hospital. His committee work on these boards focused on governance as well as marketing and strategic planning. His personal interest in the arts and humanities (he was a Fine Arts minor at Harvard) led him to complete all courses required for a Master in the Liberal Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania.
Don and his wife Carolyn, who live in Pelican Bay, are avid golfers.
