Arbonne International has a new chief executive officer, Jean-David Schwartz. Arbonne's former CEO Kay Zanotti has retired.

Schwartz comes to Arbonne from parent company Groupe Rocher, which acquired Arbonne in March of 2018. Schwartz is a seasoned direct selling executive who brings more than 15 years of experience in the industry, most recently as the CEO of Yves Rocher North America. Schwartz' well-rounded business background includes extensive multicultural, international experience, including working in Africa, Spain, Canada and the U.S.

Schwartz says, "I was pleased to be the key liaison during the Groupe Rocher acquisition of Arbonne earlier this year. All of us at Groupe Rocher have been very impressed with the amazing Arbonne culture and community. I am now excited to lead a new journey at Arbonne, to work to evolve and expand the brand, and ensure that the next stage is the best one yet. I am confident that we can turn the steady growth into truly extraordinary results. We want to focus on sharing Arbonne's mission of healthy living inside and out in bigger and broader ways than ever before."

Along with Schwartz, two other key Groupe Rocher executives are joining Arbonne full-time, including Astrid Van Ruymbeke, new Arbonne Chief Financial Officer and Vincent Taglioni, new Arbonne VP, Operations. Both Van Ruymbeke and Taglioni have been with Groupe Rocher for more than a decade.

These two executive appointments follow the retirement of Arbonne's previous CFO, Gretchen Price and the resignation of Arbonne's previous COO, Glenn Klages. There are no plans to move Arbonne's corporate headquarters, which is currently based in Irvine, California.
