Today the CEO and other execs from Black Enterprise came to Amway’s World Headquarters in Ada to officially honor Candace Matthews as the magazine’s Corporate Executive of the Year.
Matthews, Amway’s chief marketing officer since 2008, is the first leader at a privately-held company to receive the magazine’s annual honor.
In presenting the award, Black Enterprise CEO Earl “Butch” Graves Jr. said of Matthews, “through her business prowess and innovative thinking, she is helping transform Amway into a 21st century global powerhouse.”
This is definitely an honor worth mentioning.

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.
