As Huda Beauty appoints Nathalie Kristo as global CEO, Kattan said, “When I started my beauty blog in 2010, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would end up owning one of the world’s fastest-growing beauty companies. As we continue to evolve and expand, our goals continue to grow, and in the future, we see Huda Beauty being one of the biggest beauty companies in the world, both in social impact and in business. To do this, we are doubling down on focus and leadership, which is why I am proud to announce our new CEO, Nathalie Kristo.”
