Remembering Richard R. Rogers (1943- 2026)

It is with great sadness that Mary Kay Inc. announces the passing of Richard R. Rogers, Co‑Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Company. The entire Mary Kay family—including millions of independent sales force members across 40 markets—mourns this loss. Richard ensured the Company was placed in excellent hands many years ago. The Mary Kay Leadership Team, including his son, Ryan Rogers, serving as Chief Executive Officer, remains firmly committed to upholding Mary Kay’s vision, principles, and enduring opportunity for women around the world. On behalf of our Board of Directors, Executive Team, and Employees, we extend our deepest sympathies to Richard’s family and friends during this difficult time.
