David Ussery

Vice President and Managing Director

David D. Ussery serves as vice president and managing director of Amway markets in Japan and Korea.

When he was named to lead both markets in April 2005, Ussery was more than prepared: he ran Amway Japan Limited (AJL) from 2002 until 2005, and Amway Korea Limited (AKL) from 1992-95 and 2000-02. Together, AJL and AKL recorded sales of more than $1.7 billion in fiscal 2004.

He was also the president and general manager of Amway Philippines from 1995 to 2000, successfully establishing Amway in the Philippines and adapting the Amway business to the Filipino culture.

Prior to joining Amway in 1992, Ussery was a 30-year veteran of Avon Products Inc., most recently as the Chairman of the Board of Avon Japan. With Avon, he held many key management positions in Atlanta, New York City and Tokyo. Ussery graduated from Georgia State University while working full time at Avon in Atlanta.
