Formerly: Head of Training and Customer Engagement

CotyRead full bio →

Shereen Kenny

I have spent the majority of my 18 year career in the luxury retail industry, working on the retailer side as well as the brand side. From working for Harrods to then global brands such as ELC and Coty, who have distributed in mass market retailers such as Boots and other department store retailers. This experience has given me extensive knowledge and understanding on how brands and retailers work within a luxury and mass retail environment, not just from a brick-a-mortar point of view but a digital and online universe. The store is not only a place to purchase but, now the eyes into the brands' DNA and values which consumers are increasingly wanting to align with - and this is what I am most passionate about - the retail environment!
