Sitting in on a conversation between two CEO’s is interesting enough, but when the executives hail from Bloomingdale’s and Shiseido, expect to hear insights that will move the needle.

Strategies for Profitability: Michael Gould & Heidi Manheimer Talk Business, is CEW’s next Newsmaker Forum event, to be held at 6:30 pm on September 19 at The Harmonie Club in Manhattan. A cocktails and networking session begins at 5:30 p.m. The pairing of these two executives was strategic as they share many similarities:

• Both have managed to maintain, evolve and innovate while maintaining their brands’ heritage

• Both are long-time CEOs with long-term success stories

• Each is a strong leader who invest in their employees by retaining, growing and developing talent
• Both come from retail and manufacturer backgrounds

Moderated by Jill Scalamandre, SVP, philosophy brand and Coty Prestige skincare, Coty Inc., the conversation will cover topics including: what makes for a successful partnership; the luxury beauty market; meeting the needs of the multi-channel shopper; ecommerce; global initiatives and leadership techniques. An audience Q&A will cap the event. Confirmed attendees include executives from LVMH Beauty, Citi Investment Research, Clarins Groupe Americas, Esteé Lauder, Coty Prestige, L’Oréal Luxury Products and P&G Prestige.
