Vetere’s Appointment Signals Rye Strategic Partners’ High-Performance Strategy to Scale Wellness Lifestyle Brand Acquisition
HARRISON, NY, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rye Strategic Partners, LLC (RSP), a New York-based strategic advisory and business acceleration firm, today announces its acquisition of TRU47®, a rapidly growing direct-to-consumer wellness lifestyle brand. Concurrently with the acquisition, Rhonda Vetere, a globally recognized technology executive and elite endurance triathlete, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. The acquisition by The TRU47® Group, LLC, a subsidiary of parent company Rye Strategic Partners, LLC, closed on September 2, 2025, instantly launching the firm into the vast global wellness market, a sector projected by the Global Wellness Institute to reach $9 trillion by 2028.
Strategic Vision and AI-Driven Growth Engine
Vetere’s appointment is the cornerstone of RSP’s plan to aggressively scale the brand. She brings a powerful combination of decades of high-performance corporate leadership in global technology and beauty sectors, fused with a deep, lived commitment to world-class wellness. TRU47®, known for innovative silver-infused products offering solutions for EMF protection, grounding, and holistic health, is now poised to redefine the wellness market through this strategic acquisition and leadership transition.
To fuel TRU47®’s accelerated growth, RSP will integrate its AI and analytics partners, Echelon Data Labs and SMH Analytics, both leaders in advanced data intelligence and predictive modeling. Together, these firms will deploy proprietary AI models, transforming how TRU47® identifies, engages, and retains its customers. Leveraging next-generation behavioral analytics, the partnership will deliver unmatched precision in understanding consumer intent, optimizing omnichannel engagement, and informing product innovation in real time.
“We’re excited to deploy our elite AI models and data science capabilities in partnership with Rye Strategic Partners and TRU47®,” said Sam Hocking, CEO of Echelon Data Labs and SMH Analytics. “Our mission is to connect the right customers with the right products at the right time, while dramatically reducing the cost of customer acquisition and increasing long-term profitability. By combining TRU47’s product integrity with our predictive intelligence engine, we’re setting a new standard for how technology can accelerate brand growth and operational efficiency.” This data-driven foundation positions TRU47® to scale efficiently and to deepen customer loyalty by anticipating and meeting wellness lifestyle needs through personalized, AI-powered insights.
Leadership Perspectives
“This acquisition represents a pivotal entry for RSP into the vast global wellness market,” said Edward A. Bugniazet, CEO and Founder of Rye Strategic Partners. Bugniazet continues, “TRU47’s Founder, Sharon Whiteley, built the company on a foundation of innovation and integrity, creating a brand that directly meets the modern consumer demand for scientifically validated, groundbreaking wellness products. We’re honored to carry forward her vision and to have a leader of Rhonda Vetere’s caliber steer the brand into its next chapter of accelerated growth.”
“My professional life is dedicated to scaling innovative platforms, and my personal life is rooted in elite wellness. TRU47 is the perfect intersection of these two worlds,” said Rhonda Vetere, the new CEO of TRU47®. “The demand for scientifically validated non-toxic products is not a trend; it’s a fundamental shift in consumer behavior toward a wellness lifestyle. I’m thrilled to lead this brand into its next era of growth and solidify its position as a trusted wellness authority for a global audience that increasingly prioritizes health, purity, and performance.”
TRU47® was founded in 2017 by serial entrepreneur, thought leader, and four-time published author Sharon Whiteley. It offers a curated collection of products that harness silver’s scientifically supported antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, as well as grounding/earthing, EMF protection, and sleepwear. Whiteley will remain a champion of the brand as Chief Grounding Officer for the coming months.
“TRU47 has earned customer loyalty by consistently delivering high-integrity wellness products,” said Whiteley. “I’m delighted to see the brand I built continue its mission.”
Future Growth Blueprint
The acquisition equips TRU47® with RSP’s operational infrastructure, strategic resources, and global network to accelerate growth.

An omnichannel growth strategy is already underway, including brand refinement, product innovation, international expansion, and strategic partnerships. A full brand relaunch is scheduled for early 2026.
