The CXO of the Year Award recognizes C-suite members who are
changing the way we do business for the better. Josh Foukas has made positive change in many
ways in his time at USANA. Josh joined the company in 2007 and
has continued to grow within the organization, including his
appointment as vice president of legal and investor relations in
2014 and executive vice president of legal in 2017. Now
as USANA chief legal officer and general counsel, Josh directs
the company's legal, ethics, international expansion and government
relations efforts. With both a strategic and pragmatic
approach to business, Josh provides proactive leadership to
anticipate challenges and drive necessary change within USANA and
its industry.
"Josh is not only a remarkable attorney but also an invaluable
asset for USANA. He undoubtedly deserves this award," says
Kevin Guest, USANA CEO and chairman. "He is brilliant as both
a legal strategist and business adviser to the company, and we are
so incredibly fortunate to have him on our leadership team. His
impact and service to me, our company and board is beyond
measure."
Utah Business recognized another valuable member of
the USANA legal team in May. The 30 Women to Watch Award
celebrates women who are on their way to truly amazing things.
Honorees are the state's next senators, CEOs, entrepreneurs,
authors, and social leaders. Elise joined USANA in 2020 as
corporate counsel and senior manager of government relations. She
graduated from the University of Utah
and clerked for Chief Justice Lee of
the Utah Supreme Court prior to becoming USANA's in-house
counsel. Elise is also the co-chair of the Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion council, which she helped USANA form in
2020.
"Elise is a dynamic professional and leader and has made a
significant impact not only on USANA's legal and government affairs
matters, but also USANA's growing diversity and inclusion program,"
says Alex Kennedy, USANA vice
president of legal & government relations. "Elise is
courageous, hard-working, kind, intelligent—and she gets things
done. Through her efforts, she's making USANA and the Utah community even better places to be."
