Perfect Corp.’s technologies are used by more than 420 beauty brands in over 80 countries.

HAS BEING A FEMALE TECH INNOVATOR BEEN CHALLENGING IN A MALE-DOMINATED INDUSTRY? IF SO, HOW HAVE YOU OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES?

WHAT WERE YOU LIKE GROWING UP, WERE YOU ALWAYS SO DRIVEN? AC: I have always been a curious individual who isn’t afraid to venture outside the lines.

Growing up, I asked tons of questions and dug deep into topics to gain multiple perspectives and develop my own unique angle. Problem solving was ingrained in me from a young age, and it continued to propel me throughout my early education and higher learning at UCLA. I always had a strong desire to learn and grow, both as an individual and as a professional, and this growth mindset is something I have brought with me on each new life venture.

ALICE CHANG 2022 KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOUNDER AND CEO, Perfect Corp.

YOU INTRODUCED PERFECT CORP. IN 2015 AT A TIME WHEN AR/AI WAS IN ITS NASCENT STAGES IN BEAUTY. WHAT LED YOU TO THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY?

AC: As a female leader in tech, I feel immense responsibility to pave the way for a future of female leaders to pursue careers and leadership positions in the tech space. I am grateful to all the women I have encountered and learned from along my career path who gave me the courage to believe in myself and the confidence to see my vision through, even in the face of a challenge.

SUSAN AKKAD 2022 ACHIEVER AWARD HONOREE

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF?

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, LOCAL & CULTURAL INNOVATION, The Estée Lauder Companies

SA: I grew up horseback riding, so I still do that to recharge and center myself in nature. It’s my meditation time.

WHAT’S THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? WHAT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS DID YOU FLEX DURING THE PANDEMIC TO HELP YOU MOVE BUSINESS FORWARD, MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM, AND OVERCOME GLOBAL HEADWINDS? SA: As a leader, it’s always essential to take an individual approach to each of your team members. During the pandemic it was even more so, given we were all going through different circumstances. To embrace the joy of working together, my team had meetings just to connect as colleagues—no agenda— just human connection.

WHAT TRUTHS DID YOU RELY UPON PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC THAT YOU NOW QUESTION? SA: Before the pandemic, I believed that I needed to physically spend time with someone to build a new working relationship.

I used to call this “phone and feet.” Now, I know firsthand that if you are intentional, you can build a strong relationship no matter the medium.

WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE TRAIT YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BRINGING A NEW TEAM MEMBER ON BOARD?

SA: I love reading cookbooks! While I don’t always cook from them, I so enjoy reading them. It’s really relaxing. I’m currently enjoying Jamie Oliver’s Ultimate Veg—the Brunch Egg Curry is on my list to actually make.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? SA: During the pandemic, I found myself avoiding anything too serious. And although I LOVE watching Billions, the past two years have turned me into an avid podcast listener. I love Trymaine Lee’s Into America, NPR’s Fresh Air and Throughline, and I just recently started listening to Postcards from Midlife with Trish and Lorraine.

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? SA: I wish I were a linguist. I adore traveling and love meeting and learning from people from different cultures, and I’ve always wished I could do so in their native language. My husband speaks roughly five languages, and I am always in awe of this skill.

SA: I look for people who love to learn and have great curiosity. I think of innovation as a form of scratching a “curiosity itch,” which is vital to our work.

WHAT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS DID YOU FLEX DURING THE PANDEMIC TO HELP YOU MOVE BUSINESS FORWARD, MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM, AND OVERCOME GLOBAL HEADWINDS? ND: I’ve always believed in consistency of communication and transparency. Throughout the pandemic, being consistent in our goals and what we were asking of our teams was more important than ever. One of our opportunities was storytelling—meaning how do we consistently think about the role of products in our customers’ journey, and also how do we showcase that to our customers. We were steadfast in making sure this was embedded into everything we did. Because of this tenacity, today, our great products and brands are front and center inspiring our customers.

WHAT TRUTHS DID YOU RELY UPON IN RETAIL PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC THAT YOU NOW QUESTION?

Throughout the pandemic, being consistent in our goals and what we were asking of our teams was more important than ever.

ND: Pre-pandemic, I thought that some businesses or categories were more shopped in stores. The pandemic accelerated our learnings that if we make the right experiences available across channels, you can inspire customers to shop those businesses regardless of whether they are there in person or through our digital platforms. Now, when we talk about experiences, we start the conversation with digital.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF?

NATA DVIR

ND: I look for moments that are technology free and get me moving. As a native New Yorker, I am energized by what the city has to offer—I love walking/running through the city, watching people, looking into stores, and listening to podcasts.

2022 ACHIEVER AWARD HONOREE CHIEF MERCHANDISING OFFICER, Macy’s

WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE TRAIT YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BRINGING A NEW TEAM MEMBER ON BOARD?

ND: Being able to synthesize complex strategies. It’s difficult to clearly communicate complex strategies or problems, but when done successfully, it pays off.

WHAT’S THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? ND: The MasterClass series. I just wrapped the one on negotiations and thought it was great.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? ND: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? ND: One thing I continue to work on is being an active listener.

I want to make sure I am holding room for my team members and my mentees to share their thoughts and ideas comfortably.

WHAT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS DID YOU FLEX DURING THE PANDEMIC TO HELP YOU MOVE BUSINESS FORWARD, MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM, AND OVERCOME GLOBAL HEADWINDS?

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF?

NG: At the height of the pandemic, L’Oréal pivoted to ensure the safety of our employees and customers. We focused our Consumer Products Division on four guiding principles: Keep up the spirit and stay close to each other; focus on what matters; speed beats perfection; we are in this together.

COVID urged us all to strengthen our resilience. Rather than avoid the storm, we pushed forward and learned to dance in the rain.

NG: I’m most inspired by my seven-year-old daughter. Making the world a better place for her, providing for her, and being the best version of myself for her are my mission.

We spend time cooking together, which helps me recharge.

WHAT’S THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? NG: Call Us What We Carry. I am mesmerized by Amanda Gorman’s poetry. Her message of hope and healing is inspiring.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? NG: Brene Brown’s new series Atlas of the Heart explores the power of vulnerability and meaningful connection. Brene’s powerful framework has encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone.

WHAT TRUTHS DID YOU RELY UPON IN RETAIL PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC THAT YOU NOW QUESTION? NG: Beauty served as a powerful force for self-care and confidence during the COVID crisis, but shoppers shifted to digital channels. By championing beauty tech and e-commerce, L’Oréal was at the forefront of the digital acceleration; what had taken decades happened in months.

It was about agility and speed to elevate consumer centricity during a challenging time.

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? NG: Balance, it's an absolute marathon. It’s an incredible responsibility to run L’Oréal's largest division. Along with my job, I play multiple roles at once as a mom, wife, daughter, and friend, which is exhausting, but also rewarding. In my endless quest for balance, I’m learning how to nourish both my mind and body.

WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE TRAIT YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BRINGING A NEW TEAM MEMBER ON BOARD?

NATHALIE GERSCHTEIN

NG: People who can challenge the status quo, think big, and break the autopilot.

SARAH CURTIS HENRY 2022 ACHIEVER AWARD HONOREE

CHIEF COMMERCIAL OFFICER, N.A., Parfums Christian Dior

WHAT IS THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? SCH: Una pologeticall y Ambitious by Shellye Archambeau and Miss Dior

by Justine Picardie are excellent stories of courage, resilience, and the power of the human spirit.

WHAT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS DID YOU FLEX DURING THE PANDEMIC TO HELP YOU MOVE BUSINESS FORWARD, MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM, AND OVERCOME GLOBAL HEADWINDS? SCH: Empathy, agility, a growth mindset, and deep appreciation for the power of digital platforms have been critical throughout the pandemic. It has also been a major test of my endurance and ability to balance long-term strategic interests versus short-term dynamics in decision making.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? SCH: Succession and 13th by Ava Duvernay.

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE TRAIT YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BRINGING A NEW TEAM MEMBER ON BOARD? SCH: Entrepreneurial spirit is critical. Will you lead with the spirit of ownership and ambition, challenge convention, and find creative solutions? Are you willing to speak truth to power and lead with authenticity?

SCH: I continue to hone my expertise in motivating and inspiring teams in unique, relevant, and personalized ways.

In today’s terms that includes fostering a sense of belonging and engagement in a greater purpose than the bottom line. It means leading with authenticity and vulnerability, and a willingness to continuously evolve and be challenged.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF?

WHAT TRUTHS DID YOU RELY UPON IN RETAIL PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC THAT YOU NOW QUESTION? SCH: Consumers are still evolving in their response and more polarized than ever, ranging from less motivation to engage in traditional beauty rituals to more of a desire to emulate the virtually filtered look in real life. The constants are the sustained relevance and strength of the beauty and wellness markets, how inextricably linked they are, and the volatility by category as consumer behavior evolves.

SCH: Living in the Bay Area during the earliest stages of the pandemic inspired me to reconnect with nature.

Spending time with my family while hiking, enjoying beach time, and play dates in the park keep me energized and anchored. I also enjoy supporting causes close to my heart, from promoting diversity and inclusion to mentoring professionals early on in their careers.

WHAT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS DID YOU FLEX DURING THE PANDEMIC TO HELP YOU MOVE BUSINESS FORWARD, MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM, AND OVERCOME GLOBAL HEADWINDS? MM: Leading from the heart. I think one of the biggest reasons why we managed to get through the pandemic was giving each one of us permission to bring our whole self to work. We had to create the time to listen more, and embrace our new realities, like making ponytails while being on Zoom! Create the flexibility to accommodate the new schedules, and homeschooling duties. All this and more became part of the new normal and embracing it in the most humanly way possible was the biggest thing that got us through the pandemic.

WHAT TRUTHS DID YOU RELY UPON PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, AS IT RELATES TO CONSUMER BEAUTY RITUALS, THAT YOU NOW QUESTION? MM: It was surprising to see how the shower routine transfor med during the pandemic. In some cases, showers were the only place we could escape and be alone during lockdowns. They became our space to meditate, brainstorm, solve problems.

It’s where we had our private dance parties, singalongs and a good cry—or scream. Showers went from being a quite predictable routine to a new, fascinating ritual.

WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE TRAIT YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BRINGING A NEW TEAM MEMBER ON BOARD? MM: Positive attitude. By this I don’t mean “happy people.” It is more about thinking proposals instead of complaints, seeing the opportunities instead of the problems, and bringing a contagious, can-do attitude to the team.

MARCELA MELERO 2022 ACHIEVER AWARD HONOREE

VICE PRESIDENT, GLOBAL DOVE SKIN CLEANSING, Unilever

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF? MM: Spending time with my family and exploring exhibits everywhere and anywhere. Traveling is another big source of inspiration. I love to explore new places, new cultures, and interact with people from all over the globe. I think this is one of things I love the most about being in a global role.

WHAT’S THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? MM: Big confession, I am more of a streamer than a reader!

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? MM: I am a “serial streamer.” At the moment I am streaming WeCrashed, Life & Beth (love Amy Schumer’s authenticity), and Bridgerton, season 2.

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? MM: Listening. It is the key enabler in building relationships, collaboration, sympathy, inspiration, and more. My Dad always tells me that we have two ears and one mouth, so we should always listen twice as much as we talk. I tend to speak a lot, so listening is a skill I need to sharpen constantly.

It is more about thinking proposals instead of complaints, seeing the opportunities instead of the problems.

YOU ARE THE FIRST WOMAN TO HOLD THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT OF A FRAGRANCE SUPPLIER IN THE INDUSTRY. WHY DO YOU THINK THIS ROLE HAS BEEN DOMINATED

BY MEN UNTIL NOW?

YO U J O I N E D F I R M E N I C H AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC. WHERE DID YOU BEGIN IN LEADING YOUR TEAM TO PIVOT AND MOVE BUSINESS FORWARD?

ILARIA RESTA 2022 ACHIEVER AWARD HONOREE PRESIDENT, GLOBAL PERFUMERY, Firmenich

IR: It’s very intense and requires a broad understanding of P&L, consumers, supply, etc. There’s nothing a woman can’t do but, for historical reasons, I assume these types of responsibilities attracted more men, and women didn’t get a fair chance to demonstrate their skills. It’s our duty in the industry to rebalance gender presence and this is one of my focus areas.

IR: Leading started for me with understanding the people I worked with— my teams and my fellow members of the executive committee—and rapidly getting knowledge of the business challenges. I had to learn fast about a very different business than my previous job, to allow me to make quick decisions in a pivotal moment like COVID. It was a difficult situation, but the silver lining was that I had the opportunity to completely rethink our business model to find new ways of serving our clients.

Out of that necessity came fresh ideas that are now transforming the industry. I launched “Positive Perfumery,” my vision to turn fragrances into a positive force for consumers’ well-being and the health of the planet.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? IR: I just watched 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible, the documentary about Nepalese mountaineer Nirmal Purja. I suffer from vertigo so even watching was quite difficult, but what a remarkable story of resilience, determination, and breaking human barriers.

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? IR: I would have loved to be gifted at tennis and play a Wimbledon final. This was my childhood dream! On a more serious note, I believe the most important skill to succeed at is emotional intelligence, particularly understanding and regulating the impact of our behavior towards people. Operating interdependently with others is critical, especially to function in a more diverse world and connect with the younger generations.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF? IR: I play tennis to recharge. It’s a sport that requires very strong mental focus, so it’s meditation on steroids! A fantastic way to free my mind. I find inspiration from interactions with other people and visiting new places. I love traveling with my family and as I discover these places, new ideas come to me.

WHAT’S THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? IR: Normally, I read novels or history books but I really liked No Rules Rules

by Reed Hastings, the co-founder and CEO of Netflix. It’s very relevant in a moment of unexpected changes brought about by COVID, politically with war, the environmental crisis, the social tensions.

ALEXIS M. SCHRIMPF 2022 ACHIEVER AWARD HONOREE DESIGN VICE PRESIDENT, P&G Skin & Personal Care CO-FOUNDER, SeeMe Beauty

TALK ABOUT HOW YOUR TWO ROLES AT P&G INTERSECT AND LEND TO THE SUCCESS OF ONE ANOTHER? AS: I’m fortunate to be a designer and a founder: two distinctive roles united by the shared goal of envisioning new products, ideas or places where our brands can better serve consumer needs—something I love doing and have consistently gravitated to throughout my career. As a designer, I envision new possibilities for our consumer but also for my design team. It’s exciting work that involves building capability that in turn maximizes our brands’ potential to delight consumers. The same is true for being a founder of a skin care brand that serves consumers our industry has traditionally ignored. In that role, I’ve had to develop my own capability so I could translate her unmet needs into products that offer meaningful solutions. SeeMe Beauty is a wonderful success story in that regard.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RECHARGE AND INSPIRE YOURSELF? AS: I’m best recharged by h av i n g l o t s o f different things on my plate. Rotating between projects and work streams gives me a constant flow of energy. Beyond that, I enjoy golfing, reading, painting, sketching, and spending time with family, friends, and of course with Sergio, my Havanese puppy.

WHAT’S THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ, FOR PLEASURE OR WORK, THAT YOU RECOMMEND? AS: Ready Player One by Earnest Cline—first as a novel for pleasure, but then, as I began to explore the metaverse (as we call it today), as a future world for brand building.

And like so many others, the book was way better than the movie.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY STREAMING? AS: I’m just starting Ted Lasso and season 5 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, what treats!

HOW DO YOU SEE THE EVOLUTION OF BEAUTY FOR WOMEN 50+ IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY? AS: Women today are so much more than their age! That is certainly true of the 50+ woman, me included. We’re vibrant, energetic, and still looking for our next adventure.

We have so much life experience and are far more willing to experiment with new products and ideas than you’d expect.

Hopefully, the beauty industry is beginning to understand this and will cater more to us. In truth, we are similar to teenagers—but with our own money.

IF YOU COULD BE AN EXPERT IN ANY ONE SKILL, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? AS: Sketching: my first means of communicating my ideas, feelings, and possibilities.

Women today are so much more than their age! We’re vibrant, energetic, and still looking for our next adventure.

CATALYST FOR

CHANGE AWARD

The CEW Catalyst for Change Award recognizes a woman who has used her platform in the beauty industry to drive social change—within their company and the industry.

Sharon Chuter, Founder and CEO of UOMA Beauty, has been on a mission to wake up and shake up the beauty industry since she was a teenager. Frustrated that none of the major beauty brands were sold in her home country of Nigeria, she was determined to change this and was singlehandedly responsible for bringing Revlon to where she lived.

And that was just the start of Sharon’s fingerprint on beauty.

CEW WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP AWARDS

haron Chuter is not one to settle for the status quo. When something doesn’t seem right, she springs into action.

Growing up in Nigeria, Sharon was struck by a lack of big beauty brands sold in her country. As a teenager, she took it upon herself to bring distribution of Revlon to her homeland.

SHARON CHUTER 2 0 2 2 CATA LY ST F O R C H A N G E A WA R D H O N O R E E FOUNDER & CEO, UOMA Beauty

These examples of her drive to revamp how beauty has traditionally operated make Sharon the perfect choice as the honoree of CEW’s inaugural Catalyst for Change Award.

Frustrated by a lack of inclusivity in the “I love change,” Sharon tells CEW, noting beauty industry, she left her corporate it was her journey through different beauty career in 2019 to launch UOMA careers that pushed her to be a beauty Beauty. For Sharon, it wasn’t only about an founder. She toyed with being an engineer, array of shades, but the diversity of those a pilot, an accountant, and even a leading beauty brands themselves. musician. She discovered the beauty industry after courting Revlon to Nigeria.

Days after the murder of George Floyd, Her next stop was Australia where she Sharon founded Pull Up for Change took a role with L’Oréal.

This call for two products—was too stagnant for greater transparency had been simmering Sharon. She departed the industry in her mind for years. to expand her knowledge, working in the brisk product development Again, nagged by the status quo, she schedule at PepsiCo. That was followed engaged in a grassroots campaign to by a detour into pharmaceuticals at push the Oxford English Dictionary and Novartis. It was there she discovered Merriam Webster Dictionary to update that brands could change lives. their definition of the word black. “Black is luxury.

But Black-owned businesses. Sharon kicked the allure of doing something that off a second round of the partnership with could have a bigger impact drove her brands such as e.l.f. and MAC Cosmetics to depart big beauty to create her own in 2022; she teases that more are to come. line, UOMA. Her nascent brand soon “Make it Black shouldn’t happen just a caught the attention of ULTA Beauty. few times a year…it should happen every single day,” she says.

In an effort to reach the masses, in 2021 Sharon connected with Walmart to launch a sister brand, UOMA by Sharon C. “How can I say I’m an inclusive brand when I’m excluding some people? Beauty is for every color, every budget, beauty comes in every culture—everybody must be welcome to the table,” Sharon says, noting that Walmart reaches 90 percent of the American population. “Wide distribution is important to me.”

UOMA by Sharon C. was also a major step for Walmart to add more inclusive brands and Sharon helps Walmart ensure its messaging is appropriate for all consumers.

Even in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter, Sharon points out the difficulties of garnering funding for Black founders.

“As a Black female founder, I understand firsthand the struggles of raising capital or accessing funding,” she says. “In fact, I am one of only 93 Black women in the history of America who has raised over $1 million for startups.” She references that the average white male receives $2.1 million to fund a nascent company.

Her advice to fledgling beauty founders is to have a reason for being. “You have to be clear why you are doing it. Once you figure it out, don’t overthink yourself.”

“The beauty industry is at a crossroads,” concludes Sharon. "It is challenged by oversaturation and consumer fatigue. The beauty ecosystem has to change.”

Perhaps Sharon is the person to lead its next transformation.
