Beauty company Avon Products Inc announced that it has named Charles M. Herington as Senior Vice President (SVP), Latin America. Mr Herington, age 46, succeeds Amilcar Melendez, who is retiring from Avon this month after 37 years with the company.
Mr Herington has 25 years experience working in Latin America with major brand name consumer marketing companies. Since 1999, he has been president and chief executive officer, AOL Latin America, where he launched AOL in that region following a brief appointment as president, Revlon Latin America.

"Charles is a results-driven leader with an exceptional track-record of performance, and we are very pleased that he is joining Avon in this important leadership position. His proven expertise in Latin America, coupled with his experience working with four major global consumer companies, will be important assets as we implement our growth strategies in our large and dynamic Latin American region," said Andrea Jung, Avon's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
