ROBIN CLARK
FOUNDER
Founder Robin Clark has a rich background spanning DTC and B2B retail brands, including roles with industry giants like Estee Lauder & Macy's, for North America. Recognizing the need for strategic support in the industry, I specialize in crafting and executing Brand growth strategies tailored to each brand's unique needs. My approach integrates data-driven insights and market trends to optimize the sales funnel.
Driven by a mission to foster sustainable growth and elevate brand visibility, I've led innovative programs at Estee Lauder Companies, Clinique, and Macy's. Frustrated by corporate red tape, I'm now dedicated to activating ambitious strategies for emerging beauty startups. Based in Dallas, TX, I find balance with my husband, two lively pups, and hobbies like camping and baking.
