– It is such an honor to be chosen to lead Seldia. Direct selling & network marketing offers fantastic opportunities in today’s flexible working environment for people of all walks of life to maximize their potential and earn a supplementary income. As DS/MLM itself continues to transition in the digital era, I look forward to leading the continued transformation of Seldia so we can collectively take full advantage of the opportunities ahead – Beer said.

With this appointment, the Seldia board of directors is now gender-balanced, with five women and five men, including secretary generals of the Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Baltics Direct Selling Associations.

– Direct selling is changing and so is Seldia – said Laure Alexandre, Seldia executive director. – Direct sellers in the EU are 79% women. The Seldia team is all women, and our board of directors also now evolves to reflect this. With the regulatory and societal changes ahead, I very much look forward to working with Beatrice for the next three years.
