ABOUT BENJAMIN OUELLET PARADIS
To me, Beauty is what makes the world go around. Being able to see Beauty manifest in the world, no matter its form, is what makes us human. You recognize Beauty when something looks, feels, or is intrinsically well-made. During my undergrad, I discovered Beauty in my focus on Operations, Cost Accounting, and Strategy, through Lean Six Sigma Management, cost structure architecture and its flow in a firm, and sustainable competitive advantage. My deep understanding of a company\'s value chain and sensitivity to creating rich experiences for front-end customers have led me to pursue commercial sales and buying. I am passionate about discovering how Beauty is perceived and created around the globe. I pursued this objective through my involvement as a UBC delegate for the Business Management Case Competition in Guadalajara, Mexico, and going on two international exchanges at HEC Paris and SciencesPo Paris. I have a particular interest in learning more about LATAM and Sub-Saharan Africa. I have been able to apply my skills in working in leading cosmetics conglomerate L\'Oréal Group for its Luxe Division, and innovative advertising solution startup Smart Prospective. I continue creating Beauty within my work by building efficiency, pertinence, and innovation in my endeavours.
