Igor Gruendl

Royal Diamond, Igor Gruendl, will be speaking at the Budapest Convention. Igor is not only a fluent speaker on the subject of wellness and building a business, but is also an inspirational leader.

Igor Gruendl, a Royal Diamond from Florida, runs a huge international business, stretching over 24 countries. Originally from Germany, Igor emigrated to the US in 1989 with the intention of setting up a chain of health food stores but, realising the obvious potential offered by Nikken and its innovative technologies, joined Nikken in 1995. After attending a World Convention in London in June 1997, Igor and his wife Carol immediately proceeded to Germany to launch their international Nikken business. Here they sponsored a number of people – including Wolfgang Sonnenburg who now, of course, is a well-known and highly respected Royal Ambassador.

Royal Diamonds Jean-Pierre and Régine Desroses, speaking at the Copenhagen Convention, have a medical background that gives them a unique understanding of the health benefits of Nikken technologies.

Jean-Pierre and Régine Desroses worked for many years in the medical profession, and as a result came into Nikken with a unique perspective as sceptics of alternative therapies. They had been involved with Network Marketing for 15 years before Nikken and knew it was a profitable industry. They just needed the same assurance about the products, but using the products allayed any doubt they had originally held as they were amazed by the results.

Jean-Pierre and Régine soon realised that despite their experience in Network Marketing, Nikken required a different approach. Humans Being More was a valuable tool for them, as it was the first time they had been told that to have success you need to address different areas of your life. They believe the Five Pillars of Health are core to their business.

Morten Andersen

European Consultant of the Year, Morten Andersen, speaking at the Budapest Convention, gives his top tips to help you build your business and lead your teams to reach your goals and achieve freedom, better finances and improved health – the Nikken way!

Morten Andersen became a Nikken Consultant in March 2001 when the company first opened in Norway and, along with Sissel, Morten was named European Consultant of the Year for 2007. After successfully trying the Nikken products on himself while on holiday in the USA, this Norwegian Consultant knew that he could help other people with these products and saw enormous potential in the market. Morten became a Platinum Consultant within two months, Diamond within two years, and Royal Diamond within four years of starting his business.

This inspirational leader has been at the forefront of one of the fastest growing businesses in Nikken and has helped make Nikken what it is today in Norway and Denmark. Self-employed for 10 years in the technology industry prior to Nikken, Morten found it easy to develop his business and has enjoyed working towards a common goal using his endless energy and enthusiasm.
