Founder of Beneath The Gloss. Former CMO. Advisor. Brand Builder. Transformation Expert.
I’ve led the growth of dozens of beauty and wellness brands, from concept to cult status. With 20+ years of experience in brand building, marketing, and leadership, I bring the sharp strategy of an executive, the insight of a coach, and the perspective of a life shaped by transformation.
I help founders, executives, and emerging brands align the soul of what they’re building with the strategy to make it thrive. I work at the intersection of business and inner clarity, guiding people and brands back to their essence, and forward with purpose.
Beneath The Gloss blends everything I’ve lived and led — to help people and businesses grow with more clarity, confidence, and resonance.
“I’ve spent decades building brands and studying the soul — Beneath The Gloss is where it all comes together: brand, business, intuition, and transformation. It’s for anyone or any brand ready to align, evolve, and thrive.”

“Lesley is a rare talent—strategic, thoughtful, and deeply committed to growing companies. She brings care, clarity, and conviction to everything she touches. Lesley leads with vision, integrity, and a rare ability to bring the right people, processes, and strategy together to unlock real growth.
She has a true knack for identifying talent and intuitively knows how to build teams that work, and more importantly, how to align those teams with a company’s deeper mission and momentum. As a CEO I found her partnership to be one of the most positive and supportive I’ve had in my career.”
