The Business of Beauty has revealed the speakers who will be joining this year's The Business of Beauty Global Forum 2025.
The event, which is taking place from June 9th - 11th at Stanly Ranch in Napa Valley, California, brings together the best in the beauty biz, and we have exciting Aussie representation!
Speakers include founder of influencer-favourite skincare brand Naturium, Susan Yara, co-founder of Point of View Beauty, Mikayla Nogueira, and Australia's own Ava Chandler-Matthews, co-founder of cult sunscreen brand Ultra Violette.
"I’m thrilled to be speaking at the 2025 Business of Beauty’s Global Beauty Forum alongside so many incredible brand founders – given our very recent launch into the US, our 30th market globally – the timing couldn’t be better to cement Ultra Violette’s position as a truly global brand," Chandler-Matthews told BD.
"I can’t wait to share Ultra Violette’s brand story with my peers and the wider beauty industry."
"One of the best parts of founding and running a brand is the community that forms around you. I adore my beauty founder friends. Everyone is so collaborative and generous in sharing all the pits and peaks of running a business. Spending time with other founders just really fills my cup," she said.
