"We are pleased to welcome Ben Ho and Nathalie Martineau to the Youngevity management team," said Steve Wallach, Chief Executive Officer of Youngevity. "Based on market research, Singapore is a key region in which to set up operations for growth across Asia. We are looking forward to establishing our office in this strategic location. Ben's strong background in direct selling, business development and international expansion makes him an ideal addition to our management team to strengthen our global expansion strategy."

Mr. Briskie continued, "Canada has become our number one international market in terms of revenue so we are excited to provide some much needed support to our growing group of distributors in this region. We are fortunate to be able to tap into the experience and dual language capabilities that will be provided by Nathalie Martineau as Country Manager for Canada. With support on the ground we anticipate accelerated growth across Canada. Our distributors and customers have demonstrated a substantial demand for our products and business opportunity and we felt it was time to establish a corporate presence in Canada."
