SRQ Media’s 2017 Hear Me Roar Trailblazer Award Recipient Nancy Bernardini has just been named President of the powerhouse beauty brand Zotos International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Shiseido Americas Corporation. Ms. Bernardini is a veteran of the beauty industry, most recently serving as General Manager of Gurwitch Products and CEO of leading prestige brands Laura Mercier and RéVive. During her tenure, Bernardini helped put Gurwitch’s brands on a strong growth trajectory and significantly accelerated sales and profit growth. Gurwitch was acquired by Shiseido Americas Corporation in July 2016, and since then, Ms. Bernardini has helped successfully integrate the Laura Mercier and RéVive brands into the Shiseido Americas organization and position them for continued success. “I am excited to lead Zotos and to help the business continue to thrive in the professional haircare industry. I have tremendous respect for the organization and for their high-quality products, and also for the values that I have seen Shiseido instill in all its brands since Laura Mercier joined the Shiseido family. Our priorities will be to accelerate Zotos’ performance and delight more salon professionals around the world, creating a more powerful presence for the Zotos portfolio of brands in the global professional haircare market,” said Bernardini.
