USANA Health Sciences Inc. has announced that Kevin Guest is returning as CEO of the company, a position he held for eight years before becoming executive chairman three years ago.
The change was effective with the announcement earlier this month. Guest will retain his position as executive chairman. He succeeds Jim Brown, who has stepped down from his position of CEO and president.
“We thank Jim for his contributions and his leadership over the past 19 years and in his role as CEO over the past three years,” said Gilbert Fuller, lead independent director of the board. “As USANA enters its next phase, the board believes this transition will position the company to accelerate strategic priorities that meaningfully contribute to long-term growth opportunities. Kevin has the full support of the board and the company’s senior leader-
ship team.”
USANA Health Sciences is a direct-selling company that develops, manufactures and markets science-based nutritional supplements, skincare and healthy lifestyle products through a worldwide network of independent “brand partners.” The company was founded in 1992.
“I am truly energized to return to the company and lead this exceptional organization once again,” Guest said. “I know firsthand the strength of our sales force and management team, the resilience of our culture, the differentiation of our science-based products and the meaningful opportunities ahead. I’m grateful to the board for their confidence, and I look forward to working closely with our team to drive the next chapter of sustainable growth.”
