Summary
Susie Ma is the founder and CEO of Tropic Skincare, one of the UK’s fastest-growing skincare brands. Few successful entrepreneurs could claim to have more of a quintessential ‘rags to riches‘ story than Susie.
Tropic Skincare, started life on a London market stall in 2004, where aged just fifteen, she was trying to find a way to pay the household bills.
Today, her ‘ethical first’ approach to brand building has seen her gain award nominations for entrepreneurship and work with Lord Alan Sugar after appearing on BBC’s 'The Apprentice' and becoming the first runner up candidate ever to receive investment. Susie has build up a huge network of brand ambassadors up and down the country and her impressive business acumen secured her a coveted spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for 2018.
