STOCKHOLM , November 14, 2011 (press release) – It is with great sadness that Oriflame regrets to inform that Tamilla Polezhaeva has passed away after a period of illness. Together with her husband Vladimir, she became a top leading sales consultant of our company. Oriflame supports her family with all available resources.

“Today our thoughts are with the Polezhaeva family. The success of Tamilla and Vladimir has inspired many of our sales consultants to build their own successful businesses within the Oriflame networks – and will continue to do so, as Vladimir together with his daughters continue to develop the family operation,” says Magnus Brännström, CEO & President of Oriflame.

Tamilla and Vladimir Polezhaeva have for many years been a strong team and an important force in building Oriflame’s operations in Russia and globally. They have also been very supportive to Oriflame in developing the company’s work methods with the aim to make people grow as individuals and business entrepreneurs.

The Oriflame day-to-day operations are not affected by this unfortunate event. Oriflame’s network model is built around the principle that the company has individual contact with each and every one of the sales consultants in the network, with direct contacts relating to orders, deliveries and payments.
