The World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA), a global trade organization representing more than 60 national direct selling associations, today announced Oriflame CEO and President Magnus Brännström will serve as the organization’s Chairman through October 2020. Brännström assumes the role of Chairman from Doug DeVos, President of Amway.
“I am very honoured and privileged to serve the direct selling industry as Chairman of the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations during these exciting times. The world is going through digital transformation. I believe the direct selling, with its communities of people united by a joint purpose, is more relevant than ever for empowering entrepreneurship through offering quality products and services. I look forward to continue to build and develop on my predecessors’ long legacy of improving the standards of the global direct selling industry,” said Magnus Brännström.
Previously Brännström was the Vice Chairman of WFDSA. He also held the position as Chairman of SELDIA, the European Direct Selling Association.
“It’s been a tremendous honour to serve as Chairman of WFDSA for the past three years.
