Demetra Pinsent
CEO,
Charlotte Tilbury Beauty
“In my previous role as a management consultant advising global retailers, I admired and took inspiration from the leaders and brands in the World Retail Congress Hall of Fame. Having left consulting to disrupt the beauty industry together with Charlotte, I’m so humbled to now be recognised alongside them. Twelve years ago, we set out to build a premium beauty brand, rooted in purpose, that would put Britain on the global beauty map. Our journey from ambitious British start-up to today has been made possible by the investors who first believed in us, the retailers who partnered with us, the customers who trusted us and, most of all, the colleagues we are fortunate enough to work alongside. This award is testament to their efforts.”
