His thoughts on competing in the gig economy and embracing e-commerce
SSN: You’ve been with Nu Skin your entire career. What’s that been like?
I’ve spent nearly 15 of my years with Nu Skin abroad. Working in so many different capacities around the world certainly gave me the perspective I need today to run the global business. I think it’s been a huge advantage to be here as long as I have. I read a Harvard Review article recently that said their research indicates that the majority of CEOs hired from outside their industry fail, not because they didn’t see the new trends coming, but because they didn’t know how to transform the organization to meet those coming trends.

SSN: What do you feel are the advantages of having both a corporate perspective and a field perspective?
Companies that figure out how to disrupt themselves before they get disrupted from external forces are the ones that survive. I think you have to have institutional knowledge to be able to transform a business.
