Herbalife Hires Republican Consultant To Battle States Attorneys General
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Embattled Herbalife has hired a Republican consultant in a move to head off any action against the company from state attorneys general.
Marcus Reese, a former George W. Bush campaign operative, joins the Los Angeles company as vice president for state and local government affairs, a newly created position, to bring Herbalife’s message to local and state leaders, the company said.
About nine state AGs have looked into allegations by investor Bill Ackman and Hispanic activists that the diet shake company is a pyramid scheme, Ackman has said. Two of them, New York and Illinois, have been identified.
Herbalife denies it’s a pyramid scheme.
The new position is a sign that Herbalife “is still concerned about what the state AGs are doing,” said Brent Wilkes, executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, an Herbalife critic.
Reese, who worked on the 2004 Bush campaign, among others, has been a consultant to Herbalife for the past year at Tusk Strategies, a public affairs consulting firm.
Reese has called himself a “war eagle” who, if not a political operative, would like to do fashion PR for Tom Ford.

Avon Hires New CFO; Former J. Crew COO
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Avon Products Inc. said Wednesday it hired James Scully away from J. Crew Group Inc. to be its new chief financial officer.
Mr. Scully has been J. Crew’s chief operating officer for nearly two years and with the retailer for a decade. His exit follows the departure of Stuart Haselden, its chief financial officer, earlier this month. Mr. Haselden left to join Lululemon Athletica Inc. as its CFO.
J. Crew is contending with falling shopper traffic at its stores and the retailer recently wrote down the value of its stores by more than half a billion dollars, while leaving its online operations unscathed, an indication of the toll that e-commerce is taking on brick-and-mortar retailing.
“Jim’s departure comes at a time when we are looking at the way our team and business is structured,” a company spokeswoman said in a statement. “Retail has been evolving quickly and we want to ensure we are set up for ’the new world’ as we move forward.”
The spokeswoman said J. Crew had already hired an executive search firm to look for Mr. Scully’s successor. Joan Durkin, its chief accounting officer, will temporarily fill the role of CFO, while it looks for a permanent replacement.
Avon said Mr. Scully, 49, will join the beauty products
