I’m the passionate Founder + CEO of Briogeo Hair Care. I began my professional career working as a VP of Commodities Sales at Goldman Sachs in New York City. I always had a personal interest in natural beauty and realized my desire to make an impact in the clean beauty world—this led me to depart my financial career and launch Briogeo in 2013 as a way to root my career in passion and inspiration. Over the past eight years, I consider it one of my greatest successes that I took Briogeo from a small start-up to a globally recognized brand with a robust team. My professional accolades include Forbes 30 Under 30 Judge (2020), Goldman Sachs Builders + Innovators Award (2020), CEW Female Founder Award (2019), Nylon Beauty Innovator Award (2018), Inc. Female Founders 100 (2018), and Glamour Magazine 30 Under 30 (2015.)When I’m not at work, I enjoy being an energized, engaged member of multiple organizations: I’m the chairwoman of the board of Briogeo, an independent board member of Vera Bradley, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRA), an advisor on the Sephora Accelerate initiative, an advisor on Conscious Beauty at Ulta Beauty™ Advisory Council, a board member of CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women), a member of the Manhattan and Philadelphia chapters of YPO, and a national board member of the philanthropic Room To Grow organization.
