Arbonne's CEO, Kay Napier, Pens Column For September Direct Selling News
Excerpt: As I write this, today is my two-year anniversary of joining Arbonne International—my first experience as a CEO and my first time in the direct selling business. The past two years have been action-packed, as we restructured the company, converted debt to equity in 37 days, and brought new owners onboard as a result. Fortunately, these owners are committed to the business for the long term and do not encourage me to do anything that is not in the best interest of our independent consultants, or the long-term equity of the company. They quickly got that if our consultants are motivated with the right stuff, then the long-term equity would follow. Since the restructure in 2010, we have been hard at work on the right stuff.
