Senior Director, Events & Brand Experiences

Inspired by the Mediterranean, Moroccanoil comes to life through our iconic turquoise packaging and signature fragrance, pour une expérience exotique qui transporte les sens. Notre traitement Moroccanoil original a ouvert la voie aux soins capillaires infusés d'huile et a suscité un intérêt mondial pour l'huile d'argan. Au cœur de notre marque se trouve la communauté des stylistes qui nous inspire à créer des produits efficaces et faciles à utiliser. Aujourd'hui, notre mission reste inchangée : innover dans la beauté tout en ayant un impact positif. Nous soutenons le bien-être animal en tant que marque sans cruauté avec notre certification PETA Beauty without Bunnies et notre partenariat avec la Humane Society. La conservation des océans et la durabilité sont centrales pour nous, y compris notre collaboration avec Oceana. Alors que notre parcours continue, nous nous efforçons de faire une différence significative dans nos communautés et dans le monde entier.
