Truman Hunt has joined the founding board of directors of new integrative beauty company Solvasa as chairman.
Solvasa was founded by health and beauty industry veteran Lori Bush and leading Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ritu Chopra.
Prior to joining Solvasa, Hunt was the CEO and board member of Nu Skin Enterprises, leading the company to its first billion-dollar year in revenue and on to annual revenue north of $3 billion. He also expanded its international footprint in beauty, wellness and direct selling into key Asian, European and South American markets.
During his 14-year tenure as Nu Skin’s CEO, Hunt served a term as chairman of the U.S. Direct Selling Association and chairman of the CEO Counsel of the World Federation of Direct Selling. He was inducted into the Direct Selling Hall of Fame in 2017.
“I cut my teeth in the direct selling channel under Truman’s Leadership,” said Lori Bush, Solvasa CEO. “He is the best of the best when it comes to business insight, strategy and integrity. What I love most about Truman is his passion and commitment to the independent micro-entrepreneurs who make this business model so very special. I’m over the moon to be working with him again.”
“The environment for direct selling is evolving significantly, and the companies that will succeed and sustain are those that embrace the digitally and generationally driven changes while protecting the core values that make this business model more relevant than ever,” said Hunt. “After doing a deep dive into Solvasa’s products, programs and roadmap, I was impressed enough to not only accept a board position, but to make a major investment in the company. Those who know Lori Bush also know that she is one-of-a-kind. Her passion for innovation is remarkable and her track record inside and outside the direct selling channel is unique. To join forces with her and her team at a pivotal time for direct selling is an opportunity I could not overlook.”
In his role as chairman, Hunt will provide oversight of the company’s vision of building a sustainable, digitally empowered community of independent social marketers with uniquely relevant, highest-quality products and programs that support social selling leadership.
Solvasa was founded with the mission of creating and leading the Integrative Beauty Movement. The name, derived from a western and eastern root, means vessel of light, recognizing that true beauty means different things to different people, but always starts with well-being that respects the skin, body and mind connection.
