“As founder and chairman of the board for Nu Skin, Blake Roney has shaped the foundation and successful direction of this company,” said Truman Hunt, Nu Skin president and chief executive officer. “Nu Skin’s 25 years of success can, in many ways, be attributed to Blake, his values, his abilities as a businessman and his efforts to improve lives.
