I am a multi-award-winning wellness and beauty brand founder and strategist who builds brands into international businesses, from category creation through to retail partnerships, marketplace performance, and multi-market expansion. I founded White Lotus Beauty in 2004 and spent the next two decades doing something most marketers have never done: building entirely new western beauty categories from scratch. Jade rollers, gua sha, cosmetic cupping, and holistic microneedling did not exist as mainstream consumer categories before we created them. I wrote the first English-language education, trained the practitioners, built the consumer demand, and then took the brand into retail. Today White Lotus Beauty is live with Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty, SalonCentric, eCosmetics, Superdrug, Holland and Barrett, Chemist Warehouse, Myer, and Virgin Velocity across the USA, UK, and Australia. I also co-founded Yavelle, a premium deuterium depleted water brand, in 2026. I run self-serve retail media on premium retail marketplaces targeting 400% plus ROAS, managing bid strategy and budget allocation at SKU level with my own capital on the line, not a client's. That is a fundamentally different level of expertise than agency account management. I also contract for wellness brands as a senior marketing resource, giving me current hands-on knowledge of what is actually working in paid, organic and marketplace channels right now across competitive wellness and beauty categories. My work sits at the intersection of three things most brand strategists can only offer one of: founder-level brand building and category creation, performance-driven retail media, and the practical knowledge of what it takes to enter and grow in international retail markets from scratch. WHO I WORK BEST WITH Wellness and beauty brands at an inflection point. Ready to move from one market to several, from direct-to-consumer to retail shelf, or from brand awareness to measurable retail media performance. Founders who want a strategist who has done it with their own brand, not just advised from the outside. WHAT I OFFER • Category creation and brand positioning. Creating the language, education, consumer narrative, and retail story for products that do not yet have an established western market. • International retail expansion strategy. Market entry sequencing, distributor selection, retail partner identification and pitch preparation across UK, USA, Australia, and Europe. • Retail media strategy and optimisation. Self-serve marketplace advertising on premium retail marketplaces. SKU level ROAS targeting, bid architecture, budget allocation, and performance auditing. • Brand and marketing strategy. Brand positioning, product portfolio strategy, campaign planning, and content strategy for wellness and beauty brands at growth stage. • Ecommerce and marketplace growth. Multi-channel marketplace strategy with a focus on sustainable margin and brand integrity across channels. • Marketing management. I work as an embedded marketing manager for wellness brands needing senior strategic input without a full-time hire. • Business consultations. For wellness and beauty founders navigating growth decisions, retail partnerships, international expansion, or brand positioning challenges.
