Dorina Lanza has been a professional in the network marketing industry since 1993 and has risen to the top of three different network marketing companies. She continues to receive residual income from each.
In 1996 Ms. Lanza achieved the rank of Blue Diamond Executive with NuSkin, their top pay level and a rank which she still holds, where she built an international organization of over 10,000 distributors, primarily in the far east. She has helped dozens of people generate 5-figure incomes and hundreds generate 4-figure incomes. Ms. Lanza has traveled regularly to Korea, Thailand, Europe and within the US and Puerto Rico to assist in training and recruiting for her group.
Ms. Lanza has also developed an organization of approximately 20,000 members in the US and Canada with Trivita, a US-based nutritional company that uses an infomercial model to fuel much of its growth. She has numerous people who are still earning substantial incomes [4 and 5 figures] for their efforts.
As a distributor for Fuel Freedom International [now Forever Freedom International] Ms. Lanza earned the top rank of Platinum distributor. Her biggest groups are in the US, Canada, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Ms. Lanza was featured in the December 2006 issue of Success from Home magazine. She has been a keynote speaker for both network marketing and corporate events.
In addition to being a leading distributor, Ms. Lanza has served on the advisory board for NuSkin.
Ms. Lanza and her team have also developed compensation plan simulation programs for numerous network marketing companies [not the simplistic spreadsheet approaches used by most companies and industry "consultants", but actual simulation software]. These simulations allow the company to model and conduct sensitivity analyses of their distributor growth and income patterns under any set of scenarios specified. The team can develop the scenarios under any distributor behavior [statistical] and compensation plan parameters specified. As is often the case, Ms.Lanza and her team will undertake to develop the scenarios and design a compensation plan that will support the client's growth and profitability projections.
Prior to becoming a full time professional network marketer, Ms. Lanza had over twenty years of broad business experience with special competence in Mergers and Acquisitions and Corporate Development. In her career as an M&A professional as a Vice President at Ross Crossland Weston [now Mirus], Ms. Lanza was instrumental in completing domestic and international business transactions in industries including Semiconductor, Medical, Luxury Goods, and Light Manufacturing. At the time she was Series 7 licensed.
As a senior management consultant with Arthur D. Little and later as an independent, she specialized in Strategy Development and Implementation for domestic and international clients. During this period she successfully led teams to position and grow start-up companies, turn around companies with ailing market share, and position subsidiaries for divestiture. She has completed strategic projects in a variety of industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Financial Services, Defense, Automotive, Semiconductor, Telecommunications, and Software.
Before entering the business world, Ms. Lanza was an aeronautical engineer at Draper Lab [MIT] where she did and published original work in the field of gravity gradiometry and its application to improving the accuracy of inertial navigation systems. Her primary focus was simulation of the Advanced Air Launched Cruise Missle. She published in peer reviewed industry publications and presented at the symposia. Prior to that she was a medical physicist in the Radiation Oncology Department at Rhode Island Hospital where she did and published peer reviewed original work in 3-D treatment planning and developing a simulation model for electron beam dose distribution in inhomogeneous media for cancer treatment applications. In her capacity as a medical physicist, she was also on the faculty of the Brown Medical School.
Aside from her business and technical strengths she has become known for her ability to create a compelling vision that breaks new ground, her ability to communicate that strategic vision and be a role model for energizing others to work towards that vision. She leads by example, having inspired teams ranging from very small to very large. Ms. Lanza is also in demand as a keynote speaker at business conferences. She is bilingual in Italian and English and has a working knowledge of French and Spanish.
