Board of Directors

Sinead Pollock, originally from Ireland, has resided in Australia for the past 19 years. She is currently the Director of Sales for Mannatech Australasia, which includes Australia, New Zealand & Singapore. Prior to that she served as General Manager of Plexus Worldwide in Australia. Sinead began her career in network marketing in 2009 with Mannatech before departing to grow her skills with Plexus.

An inspiring corporate leader with extensive experience in General Management, field development, events, and strategic planning and execution. With a proven track record of growth by creating and nurturing key relationships, Sinead’s vision is to drive sales and rank advancement through strong field partnerships, and the integration of creative ideas and strategies.

Young, fresh, vivacious, driven. Jen Usher is the ultimate next generation leader with a passion for people and a flair for innovative thinking.

As one of the Direct Selling industry’s youngest CEOs, Jen has helped billion-dollar beauty and wellness brands such as Rodan + Fields and Kyani Australia & New Zealand launch and thrive in Australia and New Zealand. Often having to overcome adversity to lead her teams remotely, she’s steered the way in leveraging social and digital resources to build strong teams, community, a strong sponsoring culture and delivering enviable results.

With an intimate understanding of social media and gen-z/millennial culture, her next step into the premium haircare and skincare industry with powerhouse brand MONAT was a match made in heaven. Admittedly “fan-girling” over the brand that was born in the digital age and attracts a younger audience, Jen’s move into the role of MONAT Australia’s Vice President & Managing Director was meant to be. Since launching MONAT Australia in October 2021, amongst some of the harshest restrictions nation-wide, she’s used her playful, fun and hard-working approach to smash company records and exceed sales forecasts by more than 200%.

As a mum of two girls, Jen is equally as passionate about helping men and women find success in this channel, as she is about setting an outstanding example for her daughters. Proving that you really can have a family and a career that is truly limitless.

So, whether it’s keeping up with the fast pace of a growing company, developing leaders or taxiing her kids to and from soccer or dance, there’s nothing a little bit of coffee, dry shampoo, eye cream, and massive amounts of passion that can’t make big dreams come true.
