Breaking into the beauty industry can be a challenge, but perseverance and guidance from those who have paved the way, can make it an exciting journey. With any industry, having a mentor can be extremely beneficial. The women honored at the CEW Top Talent Awards share the lessons they have learned.
CEW honored six future leaders who are making their mark on the beauty industry. Selected by CEW Board Members, these Honorees were recognized for their impressive performance, leadership potential, and the impact they’re making on their companies and the industry.
Honorees include:
- Regina Baptista, Vice President, Marketing IT Cosmetics, taps into this piece of advice that she was given from her current boss “don’t ever let anyone dim your light. Always let it shine. Your expression and your thinking are unique and you can never let that special light be dimmed.”
- Tiffani Carter-Thompson, VP Global Communications, philosophy, stated that her sister once told her, “if you’re not scared of a new job, it’s not challenging enough. Don’t be afraid to take risks.”
