From Jim Stevralia
I am very proud on behalf of the Max corporate team to officially announce the promotion of Joey Sarmiento from General Manager of Philippines to Max Vice President of Asia.
Joey has been with Max for approximately 4 years and in that time has established himself as one of the most effective leaders and executives in the company. Not only has he led the Philippines office in significant growth year over year, he has also built a strong foundation and created a platform for sustainable and significant future growth.
Under Joey’s tutelage in 2014 alone Max Philippines had over 868 total rank advancements and expanded from 7 Diamonds to a total of 13. This impressive growth clearly shows that Joey understands how to generate success in the direct sales and marketing industry. More importantly he has also illustrated the ability to execute his strategies with a coordinated and successful consistency.
Joey’s contributions have extended beyond the Philippines and even beyond Max. For the past several years he has led the Singapore Max Associates resulting in consistent growth even without a permanent Max office. Beyond Max Joey has shown his support and passion for the direct sales industry by beginning his second term as Chairman of the Direct Sales Association of the Philippines. In addition, for the past 2 years he has worked as an industry representative with members of the Philippines government Bureau of Industry and Trade in developing anti-pyramiding standards and promoting education and training.
Joey is also a frequent speaker to government agencies and to interested citizens about direct selling best practices. This work is now expanding beyond Philippines to the other ASEAN nations as direct selling has established a foothold in those countries. Not only is Joey a successful leader of Max he is an industry leader in his nation and beyond.
Max proudly recognizes Joey’s skills, his hard work and his passion. We believe his abilities will bring more success to Max and to our Max Associates. We also believe he will lead the way in bringing the Max opportunity and products to as many people as possible and will continue to lead our expansion throughout Asia.
We ask you to join with us in celebrating Joey’s promotion to the new position of Max Vice President of Asia!
