In this episode, I sit down with Renée Reid of Ulta Beauty. Renée is the Senior Brand Manager of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Ulta Beauty, and she drives the DE&I strategy across the merchant’s business. Renee works with the brands to ensure they have a positive experience working with Ulta Beauty and is also responsible for Ulta’s MUSE Accelerator Program. This episode includes tactical points of what Ulta Beauty is looking for from new brands.
This episode gets personal, we know that business is one hat that founders wear but we are people too. We might be running a business but have other things happening in life. These are part of the challenges that founders overcome. I hope you enjoy this episode as we talk about keys to growth, and also personal points of wisdom.
