The beauty industry is evolving rapidly, shaped by the convergence of beauty, wellness, nutrition, and fitness, and a fundamental shift in consumer expectations. Today’s consumers are informed, values-driven, and expect transparency, authenticity, and products that reflect their individual needs.
Building successful beauty brands requires a deep understanding of the entire value chain — from product development and formulation through to brand identity, storytelling, marketing, and multi-channel retail strategy.
With over two decades of experience across the beauty, retail, and luxury goods industry, Janet Milner-Walker has held senior leadership roles within global brands including Marks & Spencer, Harvey Nichols, and The Body Shop. She holds an MA in Strategic Marketing and a Diploma in Purchasing and Supply Chain Management.
In 2017, she founded Bespoke Advantage to support ambitious beauty and wellness brands in building commercially strong, strategically positioned businesses capable of scaling across international markets. Working alongside a network of industry specialists, she partners with founders and leadership teams to deliver strategic, creative, and commercially impactful solutions.
We’re excited to partner with the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz)’s to launch the Beauty & Wellness Brand Building: Middle East Export Training, an online program for California-based beauty and wellness brands ready to expand globally.
