With leading brands in cosmetic and bath accessories, sunless tanning and beauty, we are well-positioned to leverage a unique portfolio and dedicated customer base to enhance scale, expand offerings, and increase market penetration in existing and new geographies. I am excited to work with the team at Future Beauty and to partner closely with Tad, Dana, and the rest of the Yellow Wood team to execute on these significant market opportunities.”

Before that, he spent eight years as CEO of North America for the plant-based personal care brand Weleda, where he led the company to record growth.
