Dr. Gildea will lead the Global Research and Development function, developing innovative products and increasing the number of patents to secure Mary Kay’s status as one of the top innovators in the direct selling and cosmetics industries.  With more than 1,300 patents for products, technologies and packaging designs in its global portfolio, and more than 130 patents granted in 2016 alone, Dr. Gildea will develop and execute Mary Kay’s Global Product Strategy and Innovation Pipeline.
