Few brands in direct selling carry the legacy, cultural impact and global recognition of Mary Kay, and even fewer are led by a third-generation steward so deeply connected to that legacy. In a recent conversation with *Direct Selling News*, [**Ryan Rogers, CEO of Mary Kay**](https://marykayglobal.com/leadership/ryan-rogers/) and grandson of Mary Kay Ash – the iconic founder of Mary Kay Inc., offers a rare inside look at the company’s evolution, its enduring values, and the forward-thinking strategies shaping its next era of growth.

From personal stories that reveal the expectations and influence of his iconic grandmother to candid insights on innovation, digital transformation and leadership, Rogers paints a clear picture of a company rooted in purpose but accelerating toward the future. His perspective underscores a powerful theme: honoring a legacy isn’t about preserving the past – it is about advancing it with *intention*.

As Mary Kay continues to redefine what success looks like in today’s direct selling and beauty landscape - blending entrepreneurship, technology, and community – this interview provides an inspiring and insightful glimpse into what’s ahead.
