“Kelly is a respected veteran in the beauty industry, and in this rapidly changing environment, it is almost impossible to navigate without an expert on your team. She has strong relationships with most retailers, industry experts, investors etc. I believe Kelly’s true point of differentiation is in her mindful approach to retail distribution. She looks at your brand, provides tangible feedback on social media, DTC website, and brand positioning to determine the best path forward. Kelly understands the definition of success for a brand founder and has been a huge asset to Ranavat!”

“I call Kelly my guardian angel. I can tell you that I would not have been able to secure early partnerships without Kelly and her team. Her extraordinarily broad relationships with retail partners, her years of experience, and her keen eye for what makes brands successful, are all assets beyond the services she provides. She owns our success just as much as we do, and I could not ask for a better partner.”
