A decade ago Pippa Hallas became one of the youngest CEO’s of a major brand when she took over the helm of cosmetics giant Ella Bache at just 33. Since then she’s steered the company through enormous change, has taken risks and made bold moves.

Founded in Paris in 1936 by Pippa’s great aunt, Ella Baché, and grandmother, Edith Hallas, the much-loved brand is now one of the oldest family-owned skincare companies in the world.

In this episode Pippa shares her views on the new frontier of female leadership, why emotional intelligence and vulnerability are now important parts of any leader’s approach and how she’s managing change while maintaining and respecting the enormous brand heritage that is core to the Ella Bache business.
