Mark Thompson
COMPANY:
Nude by Nature
POSITION:
CEO
LOCATION:
Sydney, Australia
While the Nude by Nature brand is revered more for what’s not in it – think parabens, phthalates, silicones, sulphates, bismuth, to name a few – than what is, CEO Mark Thompson takes a different approach when it comes to the business. A veteran of the beauty industry with more than 20 years’ experience working for big brands like L’Oréal and Unilever, he knows that it’s what you put into an organisation that matters the most.
“You need to employ top people,” he stresses. “You’re only as good as the people around you. And we take pride in the fact that we employ top professionals we can rely on to add value to the business. It’s not just about whether or not they can do the job; it’s more about what they can bring to the team to help us win in all markets.”
