For a third time, Wendy Lewis, the award-winning Founder and Chief Operations Officer of Jeunesse Global, has been named one of the “Direct Selling News” (DSN) Most Influential Women in Direct Selling.
DSN has created its list of highly influential female executives in direct sales three times in its history — in 2012, 2014 and 2017— and has honored Lewis each time.
DSN gave tribute to these extraordinary female leaders in a special issue published in December. The women were chosen based upon their executive leadership roles and come from companies that appear on the publication’s Global 100 list of largest direct selling companies worldwide, along with private companies that have experienced considerable growth in the past few years.
Lewis founded Jeunesse with her husband Randy Ray in 2009.
The company has appeared on the DSN Global 100 since 2012, when it made its debut at No. 82. Today, Jeunesse ranks in the top 20 global companies in the Global 100 at No. 14, and was chosen as the 2017 DSN Bravo Growth Award recipient for increasing annual sales by $1billion from 2014 through 2016.

Oriflame’s Magnus Brannstrom Gets Candid About Direct Selling In India
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Magnus Brannstrom, CEO and president of Swedish direct selling company Orifame, doesn’t believe in mincing words. Founded in 1967, Oriflame has a sizeable presence in 60 plus countries, with over 3 million beauty consultants, generating annual sales of around €1.2 billion.
In India, it’s been battling headwinds since its debut in 1996. “The first 20 years were very tough in terms of profitability,” confesses Brannstrom. He claims India is now profitable but declines to share numbers, citing global policies. Asserting that India is among the Top 5 markets for Oriflame, he contends that the Indian obsession with white skin is not unique. “The grass is always greener on the other side,” he grins, adding that while Indians want to look white, Westerners are keen to get tanned.
Over 20 years in India, how has the journey been so far?
India is among the top five countries. The first 20 years were very tough in terms of striking profitability. The sales prices are very low compared to other countries. So it’s hard to make money. It has been a long journey towards profitability. But Oriflame has been able to endure because of the long-term opportunities. Now we are happy with the business; the

Dixie Longate, the fast-talking Tupperware Lady, packed up her catalogues, left her children in an Alabama trailer park and took Off-Broadway, London & Melbourne by storm! Now, join Dixie as she travels the country throwing good ol’fashioned Tupperware Parties filled with outrageously funny tales, heartfelt accounts, giveaways, audience participation and the most fabulous assortment of Tupperware ever sold on a theater stage.
This is what a reporter had to say:
Before Tuesday, I had never been to a Tupperware party. I’ve gotten Facebook event invites from “friends” who were hosting one, but I never attended.
I think my mom has been to a Tupperware party, well she had several Tupperware items around the kitchen while I was growing up, and she still uses them today. I have never actually asked where she got the bowls and other storage containers. I assume it was a Tupperware party. Regardless, they have just been an ever-present existence whenever we needed to take baked goods somewhere.
Now, thanks to a night at the Temple Theater in Des Moines, I can now
