“What attracted me most is the company's unique entrepreneurial model, strong beauty heritage, talented people and global community of beauty entrepreneurs. 

“I look forward [to] working closely with teams around the world to build on the progress already achieved and unlock the significant opportunities ahead."

Campbell was chosen for the role because he is  an “exceptional” international leader with deep beauty industry expertise.

”[He has] extensive global experience and a strong track record of building brands, developing people and delivering results,” said Robert Bensoussan, Chairman of the Oriflame Board.

“The board unanimously believes he is the right leader to guide Oriflame through its next phase of development and growth.

“I would also like to thank Anna for her leadership and commitment during an important period in Oriflame's history. 

“Under her leadership, the company successfully completed its refinancing, and made significant progress in strengthening the business and advancing its transformation."
