About the Founder
Bridging Science, Manufacturing, and Commercial Strategy
Cory Hill — President, Perez Tobie
Contract Manufacturing Specialist · Nutraceutical Product Development · Formulation Strategy · Global Ingredient Sourcing · AI-Driven Technical Innovation
For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of nutraceutical manufacturing, product commercialization, international supply chains, and technical product development. My focus has been helping companies transform product concepts into scalable, regulatory-conscious, commercially successful nutritional supplements.
My experience spans every stage of the product lifecycle — from ingredient sourcing and formulation strategy to manufacturing, packaging, quality systems, and market launch. Rather than simply selling manufacturing services, I work closely with brands to optimize formulations for manufacturability, cost efficiency, consumer acceptance, and long-term commercial success.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with ingredient suppliers, contract manufacturers, packaging companies, logistics providers, regulatory professionals, and product developers across North America and Asia. This broad perspective allows me to identify manufacturing challenges early and design practical solutions before they become expensive production problems.

Areas of Special Interest
My research interests focus on evidence-based nutritional science and emerging technologies. I continuously evaluate new ingredients, formulation technologies, and peer-reviewed scientific literature to understand how they can be translated into commercially viable products.
Philosophy
A successful supplement is more than an ingredient list.
It must be scientifically rational, manufacturable at scale, economically viable, compliant with applicable regulations, stable throughout its shelf life, and compelling to consumers.
My approach is rooted in systems thinking — considering formulation, manufacturing, logistics, quality, branding, and commercial strategy as interconnected parts of the same product ecosystem. By addressing these factors together, brands can reduce development risk, accelerate time to market, and build products that perform well both technically and commercially.
Professional Focus
Today, my work centers on helping entrepreneurs, healthcare brands, practitioners, and established companies develop high-quality nutritional supplements through strategic contract manufacturing partnerships. Whether launching a first product or expanding an existing portfolio, I strive to combine scientific rigor, manufacturing practicality, and commercial insight to deliver solutions that are both innovative and scalable.
