About Naomi D.
I’m a marketing leader and brand strategist with 8+ years of experience in the beauty, wellness, and luxury industries. I specialize in transforming complex science and innovation into compelling brand stories that connect with consumers and drive business growth.At Grant Industries, I originated the company’s first marketing function, building strategies that span digital, PR, trend intelligence, and global trade shows. My work bridges R&D, product development, and brand marketing teams, positioning cutting-edge ingredients and technologies with top-tier partners from Unilever and Estée Lauder to indie founders and contract manufacturers.Previously, I held commercial and account management roles at Coty and ICP (Creed Fragrances), and I bring a foundation in luxury retail from Nordstrom and L’Oréal. This blend of marketing leadership, brand storytelling, and client-facing experience gives me a 360° perspective across the value chain — from ingredient innovation to end-consumer experience.I thrive at the intersection of trend translation, brand strategy, and innovation marketing. I’m especially passionate about AI-driven personalization, clean and biotech-driven beauty, and wellness/longevity — areas where brands need bold ideas and credible narratives to stay ahead. I’m open to connecting on opportunities to build brand growth strategies, elevate product storytelling, and bring transformative ideas to life.
