Brand & Marketing Executive | 20+ Years Scaling Beauty & CPG Businesses | P&L Leadership, Retail/Tra

About Me

I've spent two decades building and leading brand and marketing organizations across beauty and CPG — starting in global color cosmetics at Maybelline and Rimmel London, then regional leadership at Coty, and most recently as President of Perricone MD and Bentley Laboratories. Along the way I've built marketing functions from the ground up, negotiated major retail partnerships, and led full P&L turnarounds. I bring that same hands-on, build-it-and-own-it approach to advisory and fractional work.
