I have more than a decade of experience in te cosmetics industry with L’Oréal and its various brands. Starting as a product manager at L’Oréal Professional, I moved through the company’s ranks to become VP of Global Business Development and later the International General Manager for the Pulp Riot brand under the direction of Founder and CEO David Thurston. I worked on launching new product lines, growing market share in challenging economic environments, and developing an international presence for L’Oreal-owned brands like Kérastase, Matrix, and Biolage.
