Meet Catherine Okubo of MPB Health

Catherine Okubo

I began working at my father’s vitamins company when I was just 13 years old. This early start gave me the unique opportunity to explore various departments, including sales, marketing, legal, accounting, and new product development. I immersed myself in every aspect of the business, learning a great deal along the way and igniting my passion for business.

During my teenage years, I briefly ventured into modeling and studied acting in Los Angeles, as well as becoming a Licensed Health Insurance Agent in California. Later, I moved to Florida and rejoined my father’s company, taking on significant responsibilities such as managing export/import operations between the USA and Brazil, and overseeing the production of hundreds of thousands of units across more than 500 different SKUs, among other responsibilities. These diverse experiences have allowed me to overcome initial fears and gain a broad understanding across various subjects.

By the time I became a mother, I had to take a break from my career and prioritize my family. Once I was ready to re-enter the workforce, I chose to embark on a fresh start. Without the foundation of my father’s business, I found myself starting anew, rebuilding from the ground up. This period was very humbling yet empowering.

During this transition, I continued to invest in my education and personal growth, navigating the challenges and joys of being a mother while launching a new career. In 2023, I was blessed with an incredible opportunity that perfectly aligned with my background in health, wellness, and health insurance. This new role allows me to leverage all my past experiences and passions by bringing alternative healthcare to those who want to take control of their health.

I feel honored to be part of MPB Health, a revolutionary company that is truly transforming the healthcare industry in the USA. Many people seek jobs that offer real meaning and impact, and I can confidently say that our work at MPB Health achieves that. I am incredibly excited about the future and the positive changes we will continue to make.

Definitely not smooth! I’ve faced numerous challenges along the way, both professionally and personally.

One of my greatest challenges has been accepting that no matter how much effort and determination I invest, there are aspects of life beyond my control. This awareness is especially important during periods of unfair trials, which are inevitable for everyone. Faith becomes crucial in navigating such challenges. Through experience, I’ve learned the importance of redirecting focus towards what I can influence and maintaining a balanced perspective. It’s natural to lean towards negativity when things don’t go as planned, but staying positive during adversity requires strong determination.
