This month on CosmoFactory, we talk with beauty industry talent market expert Lisa Marie Ringus. In her role as Executive Vice President of Global Client Strategy and Growth with the New York City – based staffing and recruiting firm 24 Seven, Lisa Marie leads the firm’s business across beauty, wellness, luxury, and consumer products industries.

   Creative Partnership with Begoña Sanjuán, Co-Founder of Bit Beauty Intelligence

   Beauty industry innovation is often a collaboration between art and science. The art part involves creative visioning skills, reliable intuition, and market perspective. And it’s the collaboration, then, that delivers disruptive concepts, anticipates trends, and brings truly new technologies and ideas to the marketplace. This month on CosmoFactory, we hear from creative innovation specialist Begoña Sanjuán. As Co-Founder of Bit Beauty Intelligence, she works closely with suppliers and brands to develop and sell novel beauty concepts. Creative partnership, she says, works best not when everyone thinks the same way but rather when everyone involved in the partnership has an open mind. Do you love listening to CosmoFactory?
