A few yr later, in January of 2022, beauty veteran Marc Rey was named chief executive officer of Beautycounter. Scaling its C-suite, the brand has made recent hires under his leadership.

Luana Bumachar has been named chief marketing officer, specializing in product innovation, growth marketing strategies and increasing Beautycounter’s brand awareness in its next stage of growth. With greater than 20 years of experience with consumer-centric brands, Bumachar held e-commerce and digital marketing roles at Unilever and Grove Collaborative.

Christina Hoffman joins as chief people officer. She is going to oversee all human resource activities, specializing in talent acquisition, worker engagement, learning and development, and variety, equity and inclusion.
