She began her professional career in 2007 at Whirlpool as a senior engineer with the Advanced Chemical Process Team and worked her way to lead engineer with the Technology and Chemical Process Group. Kathryn then joined BISSELL Homecare, Inc. in 2010 as their associate director of product attributes. Most recently, Kathryn spent nearly nine years at Amway in different roles, including as vice president of new ventures, sciences, plant, agriculture, and systems.
“I am very excited to have Dr. Armstrong serve as our chief scientific officer,” said Jim Brown, CEO and president of USANA. “Kathryn brings extensive experience and strong credentials that demonstrate USANA’s commitment to putting science at the forefront of everything we do.
