Princess House Appoints Direct Selling Veteran Connie Tang First Woman President & CEO

TAUNTON, Mass., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --  For nearly 50 years, Princess House has been the gateway for women to become the CEOs of their own businesses, earn income and promotions with no glass ceiling, and reach their full potential personally and professionally. So it's only fitting that Connie Tang, a proven entity in the direct sales industry, take the helm to chart the company's next 50 years as Princess House's first woman President and CEO, effective immediately.

Ms. Tang's professional career began at Clinique and Lancome, followed by her tenure at BeautiControl, Inc., an international direct sales company, where she rose quickly through the ranks to become Vice President of Special Markets. In this role, she opened international markets, launched new product lines and developed sales force training programs. With Tupperware's 2000 acquisition of BeautiControl, Tang led the expansion strategy that brought the company into key global markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America.

In 2008, Tang joined JAFRA Cosmetics International, a world-renowned direct selling company. As President of JAFRA USA, she led corporate employees in California and Texas and supported more than 55,000 independent Sales Consultants in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.  Additionally, Tang developed dynamic initiatives to create market growth while leveraging already established penetration and strength in multi-ethnic market segments in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. As a JAFRA Management Board Member, she guided the company's development in 10 global markets, including Russia, Brazil, Mexico and Germany.

"I'm a tried and true believer of the power of direct sales to enable women from all walks of life to become their best selves," Ms. Tang remarked. "With the rich legacy that Princess House has built in providing superior product and income opportunities to tens of thousands of women and families, I look forward to building on our success and growth as we enter our next 50 years. It's an exciting time to move Princess House forward by reaching out to women who want more and want to be more."
