Summary

Laney Crowell, the CEO of SAIE Beauty, an omnichannel beauty brand with the objective to ‘make beauty better’. Laney’s career is a fascinating one; starting in film working with a producer before moving into magazine journalism on titles including Lucky Magazine, Elle and Stylecaster - plus there were, count them, the seven times she interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant…

Careers like these, particularly ones where you disrupt and innovate an industry are full of interesting tales and life lessons and I hope you enjoy Laney’s.
