Sue Y. Nabi is the Chief Executive Officer of Coty Inc. She is a true veteran in the beauty space, with roughly 30 years of experience across key strategic focus areas for Coty. This includes a track record of success across the mass and luxury channels, and across the core fragrances, color cosmetics, and skincare categories, as well as successful brand building across key international markets. Born in Algeria, Nabi has an Advanced Master's degree in Marketing Management from ESSEC (Paris Business School) and an engineering degree in Agronomy and Environment. She began her career at L’Oréal in 1993, where her passion, ambition and talent for bringing brands alive established her reputation for exceptional leadership and innovation. In 2004, Nabi was promoted to General Manager of L’Oréal France, managing a business of more than 400 million euros in turnover with a team of over 400 people. In mid-2005, she was named the youngest ever president of L’Oréal worldwide. Her tenure saw the L’Oréal brand’s strongest years of growth in the decade - reaching the 4 billion euros mark in 2009 - while her decision to evolve the slogan of L’Oréal Paris to “because we’re worth it” cemented the brand’s commitment to inclusivity. During this period Nabi was named Manager of the Year in 2008 by Cosmétique Magazine and won the Prix d’Excellence Marie Claire award 3 years in a row. In 2009, Nabi was tasked with revitalizing Lancôme. The same recipe for success was applied to make Lancôme the brand of happiness, resulting in three years of up to double-digit growth and a record turnover of €3.2b. During her tenure Nabi pioneered the launch of the most successful fragrance of the last twenty years - 'La Vie est Belle' - which is now the second best-selling prestige perfume in the world. Nabi also oversaw the launch of global blockbusters including Génifique Light Pearl, Teint Miracle, Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara, Énergie de Vie, Visionnaire and Absolue L’Extrait skincare during her time at Lancôme. In 2014, Nabi left L’Oréal to co-found a new brand and product range with Nicolas Vu, which they in 2017. Green, clean, vegan and genderless, Orveda delivered an empowering, new-age skincare range that is based on the science of glow and working with skin, not against it. Since Nabi joined Coty, Nicolas Vu is the CEO of Orveda. The products are sold on Orveda.com and the brand is present in the most beautiful points of sale or luxury spas and medi-spas in the UK, France, USA, Switzerland, Mexico, Germany, Italy and Net-A-Porter.
