Birmingham-based skincare brand Kanzen Skincare is proud to announce the appointment of Richard Clark, former Chief Marketing Officer at global beauty powerhouse Sephora, as Non-Executive Director.
Founded and manufactured in Birmingham, Kanzen has quickly gained national attention for its innovative, results-driven skincare and strong digital presence. The appointment of Clark marks a major milestone in the brand’s ambitious journey, reinforcing the city’s role as a hub for beauty and entrepreneurship.
David Connor, Co-Founder of Kanzen Skincare, shared his excitement:
“Today is a monumental day for Kanzen… To have the ex-CMO of Sephora join us in building a global brand is game-changing. So excited to see what the future holds.
”
Richard Clark brings decades of experience leading some of the world’s most recognisable brands, including Boohoo and Argos. His addition to the board is set to accelerate Kanzen’s mission to redefine skincare with affordable, non-invasive products designed for real people and diverse skin types.
Reflecting on his decision to join Kanzen, Clark said:
“It’s great to be part of something where the products answer an actual need, rather than being a gimmick“. Clark also noted “It’s amazing to be supporting real people. People that have built things and are building things and still be genuine, real down to earth people”. Clark added that Kanzen is “one of the UK’s most exciting skincare brands.”
With its entire product range manufactured in-house in Birmingham, Kanzen continues to scale rapidly – backed by viral customer testimonials, cult social media appeal, and now, the strategic insight of one of beauty’s most seasoned leaders.
