Jim Northrop, former Immunotec President and CEO, passed away this week. Northrop was an advocate for the direct selling channel and the leader of Winfield Consulting, an organization designed to provide strategic support to direct selling companies.
Northrop was an active and significant contributor to the direct selling channel, serving as Chair of the Direct Selling Education Foundation (DSEF) Academic Committee, and as a member of both the Direct Selling Association (DSA) and the DSEF Board of Directors. Northrop also served on the DSEF Executive Committee and was Chairman and CEO of Princess House from 1994-2006.
In 2012, Northrop was inducted into the DSEF Circle of Honor, which recognizes industry leaders of high integrity who have made extraordinary contributions to the foundation through their dedication and service.
Northrop was a mentor and lifelong friend to current Immunotec CEO Mauricio Domenzain and a member of the Immunotec board.
“Jim was a man of integrity and kindness,” Domenzain said. “His mentorship and friendship were invaluable. He believed in the potential of every individual and dedicated himself to empowering those around him. Jim’s legacy will continue to live on through the values he instilled in us and the countless lives he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. We will miss him dearly but will forever be grateful for the time we shared and the lessons we learned from such an extraordinary individual.”
