Short to elevate company’s social entrepreneurship efforts
COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 15, 2013--
Mannatech,
Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX),
the leading innovator and provider of naturally sourced supplements
based on Real
Food Technology® solutions, announced today the
appointment of direct selling legend Bo
Short as President
of Business and Field Development, North America. Short’s
experience in direct selling has spanned 23 years, 21 countries and five
companies where he has climbed to the highest rank of leadership in the
distributor organization with each engagement. He is also a best-selling
author of both Living to Win and The Foundation of Leadership.
“As we continue to execute our strategy to restore growth, we are
putting key resources in place across the company, beginning with the
people who make our company what it is – our independent sales
associates,” said Dr.
Robert Sinnott, CEO and Chief Science Officer for Mannatech. “Bo
Short’s decades of unparalleled success in the direct sales industry
speak volumes for his ability to develop business building programs that
train and mentor independent business people, unlocking their full
potential.”
Mannatech, known largely for its pioneering discoveries and research in
the area of glyconutrients,
boasts the first social entrepreneurship program in the direct sales
industry, called ‘Give
for Real.’ This commitment to provide nutritional
supplementation to at-risk children internationally is largely
responsible for attracting Bo Short to this new post at Mannatech.
“I’ve been blessed personally, professionally and financially in this
industry, but I knew there was something more to accomplish. When
presented with the opportunity to affect change on a global scale
through Give for Real, I knew this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass
up,” said Short. “Many enter this industry to accomplish personal goals
but they also want to be a part of doing something significant;
something that will live on after they are gone. Mannatech, as a social
entrepreneur company, is positioned to address a global crisis while
rewarding those people who champion our cause.”
