Candace Matthews has been commanding attention since becoming our chief marketing officer in 2008.
She created a global marketing council to guide company efforts worldwide. She’s led the revitalization of our Nutrilite and Artistry product lines and breathed new life and energy into the Amway brand. Candace even sang during our employee holiday program last year.
And now, she’s on the cover of a magazine on newsstands from coast-to-coast as Black Enterprise’s 2009 “Corporate Executive of the Year.” (PDF, 7MB)
Candace is the first exec at a privately-held company to receive the magazine’s annual honor. She was selected for her “business prowess and inventiveness” and for forging a marketing approach that “blends innovation, technology and interpersonal relationships.”
And she’s in good company. Executives at corporations like Ford, McDonald’s and CNBC also have received the magazine’s honor.
We knew Candace was enterprising. Now she has the award to prove it.
Wow! Congratulations!!
The article on BE is fantastic! Follow the link above.
Well done Candice and Congrat’s. I can say that I’ve met you and that you are such a wonderful, humble person who deserves this award.

It is a wonderful experience to be visiting the AMWAY GLOBAL-WORLD Headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. AM looking forward to be meeting with Candice Matthews- our Head of International Marketting..So far since my arrival here,. the weather been great(more like Cape Town Summer weather)..
KUDOS Candace Matthew. Your background and goals will take you to greater heights in the business. Reading the articel in BE, I could not help but notice that AmwayGlobal representation in Africa is only in South Africa, 1 of 54 countries in Africa. As a former expatriate Area Marketing Mgr in West Africa & Field “Country” Manager for 2 Fortune 100 companies, I continue asking myself when will global companies fully tap business opportunities in Africa. The biggest undeclared economy in Africa is self employment entailing buying and selling of consumer products. I hope you are planning to tap that opportunity to the fullest extent.
Yes I’m also a IBO buisnessman of Amway Global and definitely see the results of persistance.A Jamacian Newspaper called Weekly Star is advertising the XS energy drinks for readers to see and Igot more newspapers ready to advertise the product.Candace Matthew is a force indeed and I’ve mailed BE magazine staff 2 samples of the XS energy drinks so they liked the products.Hopefully one day I will join Ms Matthew in being a succesful IBO representing Amway Global.
thats cool
