Amway announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Michael Nelson as President & Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Nelson succeeds Milind Pant, who had served as Amway’s CEO since January 2019.

“Amway is looking to the future with energy and confidence,” said Board Co-Chair Steve Van Andel. “We’re ready to build on the momentum of recent years, grow from our strengths and answer market needs of today in a way that only we can. The Board is thrilled to welcome Michael to this crucial position, and we’re certain that he brings exactly what Amway needs to continue leading, growing and thriving in the industry – now and well into the future.”

Michael Nelson brings more than three decades of Amway experience to this role, having held critical leadership roles in Strategy, Supply Chain, Human Resources, and Technology across the company. His expertise spans business strategy, people management and development, and global operations, making him uniquely suited to the CEO position, the company said.

As President and CEO, Nelson will lead nearly 14,000 employees supporting one million Amway Business Owners across the globe.

Michael Nelson said, “It’s a mission that’s been close to my heart for more than 30 years, and I look forward to partnering with the Board, my colleagues and Amway Business Owners to build on the legacy and success of the last 65 years. There’s tremendous potential and an even brighter future ahead.”
