This is another great catch for Nerium who seems to be gaining momentum by the day. Zenes was a 100K in XanGo and built a worldwide team of more than ten thousand.
After 11 years of being full time and working with and mentoring thousands in the industry, Zenes has decided to join the Nerium family. Here is what he had to say about the transition:

So when I learned the culture of Nerium International and the Founder, Jeff Olson, it was an easy choice for my family’s future. To hear a Founder say they are building world class products and a world class opportunity is great, but to hear Jeff
