Stila Cosmetics has appointed industry executive and strategist Michelle Kluz as its chief executive officer (CEO).

Kluz has been recognized for scaling the business operations of national cannabis company Ascend Wellness Holdings as its interim CEO of Retail.

She has also previously served as the chief executive of several other companies, including Tough Mudder Bootcamps, Pure Barre and Sydney-based BBRC, a $1B conglomerate that operates six accessories, intimate apparel and home goods brands. Additionally, Kluz is the founder of Urban Savage, a global activewear brand.

“Michelle brings to Stila a track record that includes leading an established $1B global retailer, building and scaling a business from the ground up, and reinvigorating an iconic fitness brand,” said Kevin J. Carey, senior counsel at Hogan Lovells’ Corporate and Finance practice group.

“Michelle has effectively repositioned a company by building a multi-unit franchise model, driving the annual budget process, establishing operational excellence and ultimately delivering a successful majority sale. Michelle has all the savvy and requisite skills to take Stila to a very bright future.”

In addition to the appointment of Kluz, Carey will serve as manager of Stila Styles, LLC and will be responsible for guiding its leadership to serve in the best interest of its employees, business partners and customers.

“With Kevin’s impeccable credentials and sterling reputation, I know he will help guide me and Stila leadership to set a course that will be in the best interest of its highly valued employees, business partners and customers,” said Kluz.

Stila Cosmetics was founded in 1994, and its products are available in over 1000 store locations across the United States, including Sephora, ULTA Beauty, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. Stila is also available in more than 20 global markets, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, Brazil, and Mexico.
