Kenji Calméjane

International Business Development Expert open for opportunities (Luxury, Cosmetics)
About

20 years of sales and marketing experience in the beauty industry, where I served in managerial roles – covering product development, operational marketing, and general management – with leading groups such as L'Oréal and Shiseido. A vision-setter, storyteller, and tech enthusiast at heart, I have developed particular expertise in Asian consumers and the travel retail channel – fast-growing markets that have allowed me to leverage my creative mindset and hone my skills as a strategic international business accelerator. As Consumer Experience Lead at Shiseido Travel Retail, I created unique experiences for travelling beauty consumers – across all their journey touchpoints – in the post-pandemic new normal.
