The Life After 55 Expert: Fay Chapple's NorthFuse Group Grows to Nine Companies Built for the Generation the Market Writes Off
A former $300M global executive turns a forced reinvention into a multi-brand company for the people the market keeps benching.
TORONTO, Canada — Fay Chapple, a former senior executive at Godiva Chocolatier and Unilever, is now widely known as The Life After 55 Expert: the founder of nine companies built for experienced people who refuse to be written off — Too Late My Ass™, RISE55, The Medicine We Forgot, Stillwater Reset, The Mindful City, Concert-A-Go-Go, Mabel-A-Go-Go, Elevated Living, and Ink & Apple, under the NorthFuse Group umbrella.
The companies span reinvention media and membership, second-act income, honest health and longevity tools, a curated intellectual-events directory across 31 cities, friendly AI and technology, and lifestyle products — each one, Chapple says, built because she needed it and couldn't find an honest version on the market.
Chapple's path was not planned. After 25+ years leading global brands across four continents, her husband suffered a catastrophic stroke, and she rebuilt her career, finances, and identity in real time over eighteen years — an experience that became the foundation of her work.
"I stopped waiting for someone to give me permission and built the things I kept wishing existed. That's the whole thesis: nothing you survive is wasted."

Fay Chapple spent 25+ years leading global brands at Godiva Chocolatier and Unilever before a family crisis forced a complete reinvention.

An MBA from Ivey and a keynote speaker booked by Fortune 500 teams and conferences worldwide, Fay pairs executive authority with the neuroscience of identity change. Her thesis: nothing you survive is wasted.
Fay Chapple is a global business strategist, keynote speaker, author, and The Life After 55 Expert — founder of NorthFuse Group. For more than 25 years she led brands at the highest level, with senior roles at Godiva Chocolatier and Unilever's Dove Spa, managing P&Ls over $300M across Japan, the Pacific Rim, Europe, and North America, and an MBA from Ivey Business School. At 48, her husband's catastrophic stroke forced a complete reinvention: she became a caregiver and the single income while rebuilding her identity, finances, and purpose in real time. Over the next eighteen years she reinvented again and again — a wellness center, the Speak Easy Formula for speaking professionals, entrepreneur coaching, and finally the nine companies of NorthFuse Group, all built for the people the market writes off after 55: Too Late My Ass™, RISE55, The Medicine We Forgot, Stillwater Reset, The Mindful City, Concert-A-Go-Go, Mabel-A-Go-Go, Elevated Living, and Ink & Apple. An E-RYT 500, meditation teacher, feng shui and reiki master, Fay pairs executive authority with the neuroscience of identity change. Her book, Nothing You Survive Is Wasted, arrives in 2026. Her thesis: nothing you survive is wasted.
