Glenn Schneider

Role

CEO, SUSA Academy

Background

Spent ~25 years in corporate America. Former president of Nature’s Bounty, a ~$4 billion vitamin and supplement company. Left in 2014 after Carlyle Group privatized the business. Co-founded SUSA’s growth initiative with Moussa Sy, applying corporate M&A rollup strategy to youth soccer on Long Island.

Connections

  • SUSA FC — CEO and co-owner
  • Albertson SC — SUSA provides DOC and coaching services
  • NYCFC — SUSA became affiliate in 2018 under Schneider’s leadership
  • M&T Bank — negotiated official banking partnership (2025)

Context

Schneider is notable as a corporate executive who entered youth soccer with explicit M&A intent. His background in acquisitions at Nature’s Bounty directly maps to SUSA’s consolidation strategy on Long Island. He understands platform economics, rollup mechanics, and corporate partnerships at a level unusual for youth soccer operators. A key figure to track for SYNRGY — he would be a sophisticated counterparty in any acquisition or partnership conversation.
