I’m a cosmetic scientist with nearly 25 years’ experience in R&D, specialising in hair and scalp science. Over my career I’ve worked across both global corporations and fast-growing beauty brands, and today I run my own consultancy, FibrePro Advisory, where I support companies with innovation strategy, technology development and scientific storytelling.

My background is in hair and fibre science, and I’ve spent much of my career helping brands translate deep technical understanding into meaningful product innovations and credible claims. I particularly enjoy connecting the science with the story, whether that’s through published technical insight, consumer-facing education, or helping brands clearly communicate how their technologies actually work.

​

I’ve also had the opportunity to lead R&D through periods of significant business change, including supporting K18 through its acquisition by Unilever. This involved preparing technical content for management presentations, leading scientific due diligence, and helping integrate R&D capabilities after acquisition.

​

I’m passionate about advancing cosmetic science, building collaborations between scientists and businesses, and helping translate new technologies into real products that benefit consumers. I’m really pleased to be joining the Cosmetic Cluster UK board and look forward to contributing to the community and supporting innovation across the sector.
