Consumers are demanding safer products and greater transparency, and Beautycounter is leading on both fronts. I'm honored to have the opportunity to help grow this mission-driven business that puts the health of its consumers and the planet first."
Marc Rey, CEO of Beautycounter, said, "Kara is an exceptional business strategist with an impressive track record of growing brands, having a deep, nuanced understanding of the needs of the modern consumer. She will be an incredible asset to our team as we continue to accelerate the growth of the business."
