Turning Vision into Brand Legacy

What does it take to transform a name into an enduring brand?

In the world of fragrance and beauty—where artistry meets strategy—success comes from vision, expertise, and the ability to adapt to evolving markets. This conversation will explore how women leaders in the industry have launched, grown, and guided brands that resonate across generations.

Drawing on her journey as founder of VERONIQUE GABAI and former Global President of Fragrance at The Estée Lauder Companies, Veronique Gabai will share the entrepreneurial and strategic lessons behind building a namesake luxury brand. Alongside her, Pamela Vaile, who has shaped global fragrance and beauty launches at L’Oréal, Avon, Revlon, Bath & Body Works, and through her consulting work for houses like Michael Kors, Giorgio Armani, and Laura Mercier, will reflect on the art of brand creation and incubation.

This evening is designed for executives, entrepreneurs, brand builders, and rising professionals in fragrance, luxury, fashion, beauty, and CPG.

Attendees will gain first-hand insights into what it takes to launch, scale, and sustain powerful brands. Expect practical takeaways on personal branding, entrepreneurship, and the long-term stewardship of ideas into legacy—knowledge you can apply whether you’re growing your own venture or shaping strategy within a global company.
