Looking ahead, this online event will examine what’s next for beauty, health and wellness brands in an inter- and post-Covid world, where cautious consumers will need to be carefully rehabilitated into a new daily life, with brands as their guardians and protectors.
Our guest speakers will include global industry leaders specialising in beauty and wellness who will share unmissable insights and forecasts in live Q&A sessions. We will also host a live session with our strategists who will aim to address your current consumer concerns.

Michel founded Waldencast, a holding company and investment fund that incubates and accelerates early-stage beauty and wellness brands, in 2019. He has since invested in brands including Kjaer Weis and Costa Brazil, looking to go beyond traditional incubation and acceleration to develop brands that place responsible entrepreneurship at the heart of their operations. Michel draws on 25 years of FMCG operational expertise, having successfully built brands and businesses across many geographies, first at Procter & Gamble and then at L’Oréal, where he was president of the Consumer Product Division for North America.

In 2020 it released the Mission Plan, a sustainable transformation guide for consumer brands. Katie trained to become a Climate Reality Leader with Al Gore in summer 2019, and today frequently leads workshops and speaks on topics related to the mission at SMAKK and brand-building in the consumer space.
