Meet the Team
Jeanette Anderson
Jeanette has a wealth of experience in the party plan industry, starting her first hugely successful business in 1990. She worked in Australia and the USA, breaking company records and earning herself 13 overseas incentive trips. She met Neil Reid in 2004, and soon realised that he shared her dream of developing an Australian business where the profits stayed in Australia, with people having fun and being amply rewarded.
Neil Reid
Neil has a career spanning forty years in marketing and sales. He has been involved in the Direct Selling Industry since 1986. Nature Direct is the culmination of his dream to develop a business to give opportunity to young Australians.
Karla Hart
With 15 years experience in direct selling, Karla was the perfect choice as the Master Distributor for Nature Direct. Karla brings exceptional leadership skills and innovative ideas to the organisation and was responsible for initiating the Nature Direct Diamond Club, an international seminar for the top performers in the business.
Melanie Hood
When Melanie joined Nature Direct in 2009, she set the benchmark for high performance – selling over $6,600 worth in her first 10 days. Since then she has been promoted to Team Leader and has received numerous awards. Melanie always takes a proactive approach to coaching and mentoring her team and works extremely hard to promote the important Nature Direct message.
Carlie Oliver
Working as a full time social worker was no barrier to joining our business in 2009. Carlie’s passion for health and wellbeing and for the ongoing protection of children and families is evident in everything she does. Carlie was promoted to Team Leader in September 2010, and hasn’t looked back since. Carlie is extremely enthusiastic and is known for her caring nature.
Heather Schmidt
Heather made a smart business decision when she joined Nature Direct in August 2009. The next few months were a whirlwind of activity as Heather rapidly joined the ranks of the top performers. With her strict regime of 4 Show’n’Go presentations per week, Heather always leads from the front and displays discipline in all aspects of her business. Heather is the recipient of the 2010 Directors Award, our most prestigious award.
Tania Bradley
Tania has always been passionate about protecting children; before joining Nature Direct she ran her own family day care business. She felt compelled to share the Nature Direct message with friends and family, and so joined our business in September 2009, determined to make a difference to their lives. With enthusiasm and drive, Tania worked solidly and consistently to earn herself many of Nature Direct’s most prestigious awards.
Danielle Bortignon
Joining Nature Direct in 2009, Danielle discovered this was the perfect party plan business for her. Always positive and enthusiastic, she is a shining example of someone who sees the bright side of all aspects of her business. The past two years have been exciting ones for Danielle as she has managed to recruit a team of people in South Australia and earn membership to the 2010 Diamond Club. In May 2011 she was promoted to Team Leader. Danielle is the holder of the 2011 Director’s Award, our most prestigious award.
