It was a trip to Kyoto in 2008 that led Vicky Tsai, Founder of Tatcha, to create a skincare brand based on Japanese beauty rituals. Vicky became so inspired by the beauty secrets and rituals of Japanese culture that she saw firsthand and how this was healing her dermatitis, so she left her job and started creating. Even selling her engagement ring to fund the launch. In 2009, she introduced the consumer to a completely different way to think about beauty, inside and out. Her journey developing Tatcha, scaling it, stepping down as CEO then coming back as CEO with Unilever, the company that acquired Tatcha is fascinating, authentic, insightful and I know that you will be glad you listened.
