Avon hires dietary supplement industry veteran to lead investor relations

Beauty multi-level marketing company Avon Products appointed Amy Greene as its new VP of investor relations.

Greene was previously the VP of investor and government relations at supplement retailer GNC, where “she led the external engagement with investors, analysts and various Congressional offices and industry groups, to change the narrative around topics such as wellness and care,” according to a press release issued by Avon.

Before that, Greene held various executive positions at Herbalife Nutrition for more than 10 years, during which the company grew from a small to mid-cap business, according to the press release.

Avon entered the dietary supplement space in January this year with the launch of 11 products in the new Espira Line. Supplements in the line range from plant protein powder to beauty-from-within to sleep support.

"We are pleased to have an investor relations professional of Amy's calibre join the Avon team," said CFO Jamie Wilson.

"She brings 20 years of experience in sell-side research and communications combined, a deep knowledge of capital markets and a strong network of relationships within the investment community. Further, Amy has a tremendous understanding of the direct selling industry and consumer products. We look forward to the value she will add in engaging analysts and investors with our plans to achieve sustainable, profitable growth."
