" Aaron Garrity is a smart, innovative and charismatic leader," said Keeper Catran-Whitney, founder and CEO of DirectSellingLive.com. "He has shown his passion for direct selling and for helping others succeed, and we agree with the conclusion of a Harvard Business Review study which named him as an 'enterprising innovator.'"
Under Garrity's leadership, XANGO has grown to reach more than 2 million independent distributors doing business in more than 40 markets. Having established XANGO as a remarkably global brand within its industry, recognized as the first company to introduce a mangosteen beverage to a worldwide market, Garrity continues to drive XANGO's bold innovation and social purpose. This includes company initiatives to take the experience of its leadership events to a global audience through live streaming and empowering women through the Women Building Bridges program.
XANGO continues to explore the benefits of mangosteen-based products, including the recent launch of FAVAO? by XANGO, a total lifestyle reset approach to weight management which was named a 2012 Ethos Award recipient by the Direct Selling Association. The company also recently announced the donation of 5 million meals to those suffering from chronic malnutrition in underdeveloped nations, distributed through a partnership with global humanitarian aid and medical relief organization AmeriCares.
Previously, Garrity has been recognized by the Harvard Business Review as one of the top innovative entrepreneurs in a six-year study on innovators and what sets them apart from other business leaders. He was also named a national finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and CEO of the Year by Utah Business magazine.
