Partner.Co Leader Harumi Saito Achieves Chairperson 5 Milestone

After more than two decades in the direct selling industry, Harumi Saito has reached another significant milestone — advancing to the prestigious rank of Chairperson 5 with Partner.Co.

Saito’s journey reflects the evolution of both the industry and her own leadership approach. Over the past 20 years, she has built and guided a thriving organization while adapting to changing markets and business models. According to Saito, the latest advancement came after a renewed sense of momentum within her team.

“The atmosphere came back to life, and that’s what has made me happiest,”

she said.

“It genuinely feels good to say, ‘I’m so glad we went for it.’”

Along the way, Saito credits not only her team but Partner.Co as a whole for helping her get here.

“What helped me overcome any difficulties was refusing to leave questions unanswered,”

she explained.

“I consistently checked in with the staff, called many times and kept working to deepen my understanding of how to be successful and build my business.”

Reflecting on her journey thus far, Saito said that if she had to do it all over again, she would focus on team building and team goal-setting sooner. 

“If I could start over, I would focus sooner on building a team with people who could grow alongside me and create shared goals,”

she said.

“At the beginning, my perspective on where to strengthen the organization was still unclear. If I had seen that earlier, I think I could have created a different kind of momentum.” 

Her achievement has also been celebrated by Partner.Co leadership.

“Saito has been with us since the beginning, and in that time has seen the industry change. We’ve loved seeing her business grow and evolve to match the times, and we can’t wait to see where she goes from here.”

The culture of Partner.Co, Saito says, made achieving this new Title easier.

“I’ve been places before that focused on a ‘me’ mentality. It isn’t like that at Partner.Co. Here, the culture is quite different. It’s team-oriented, and that feels incredible, because when one of us succeeds, we all do,”

she said.

“To build a community where people can genuinely say, ‘I’m so glad I’m on this team,’ and ‘I’m so glad I found this team’ is something I’m incredibly grateful for.”

With the Chairperson 5 milestone now achieved, Saito continues to focus on strengthening her organization and helping the next generation of leaders grow within the Partner.Co community.
