Product Development Expert · Fragrance Specialist
Los Angeles-based product development expert for founders and brands, with nine-plus years and deep technical specialization in fragrance — from scent creation and incorporation into product bases through formulation, regulatory, packaging and supply chain. Built across L'Oréal, Estée Lauder, Frédéric Malle, Balmain Beauty, Kilian Paris and Penhaligon's. Available on a consulting or fractional basis, from concept through launch.
The future of fragrance, beauty and wellness belongs to brands that treat product as their greatest creative expression — and their strongest competitive advantage. I partner with founders and brands, working alongside laboratories and manufacturers, at the intersection of creative ambition and technical execution — turning vision into product, and building the systems that let that product scale.
Vision becomes product. Product becomes capability. Capability becomes growth.
Every exceptional product begins with a point of view. I help define innovation strategy, identify white-space opportunities, shape product portfolios and translate creative ambition into clear product direction.
Great ideas deserve exceptional execution. Working across fragrance, beauty and wellness, I lead product development from concept to commercialization — bringing together creative teams, laboratories, fragrance houses, suppliers and manufacturers to create products that are technically exceptional and commercially successful.
Growth is designed. Beyond individual launches, I help companies build the capabilities, partnerships and operating models that allow innovation to scale — and integrate cleanly into a larger organization following an acquisition — without compromising quality or identity.
