From Harvard to Birchbox
In 2010, Harvard Business School friends and roommates Katia Beauchamp and Haley Barna started Birchbox out of their dorm room. They were driven by a fascination with the business dynamics of the beauty industry and a mission to redefine the way people discovered and shopped for beauty online.
Today, Beauchamp is more passionate than ever about building the beauty destination for the everyday woman who is not passionate about beauty. Birchbox, which is best known for its monthly subscription of personalized samples, has more than 2.5 million active customers, 500 beauty and grooming brand partners, and operations in six countries.
Speakers
Katia Beauchamp, CEO of Birchbox
