She has deep management experience and a keen understanding of marketing and brand-building, and I believe she will bring fresh and unique insights to bareMinerals as our brands navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape and explore new methods of driving consumer engagement.”
Digital strategy
As president, Jurevics will create and execute the brand’s vision and growth strategy as well as oversee the full team behind Bare Escentuls’ bareMinerals collection.
Jurevics comes to Shiseido after over three years as CEO and board member of Pottermore, the ecommerce and digital publishing company of J.K.
