Katie Vial

With over 15 years experience in the beauty industry, I have accrued not only a wealth of sector knowledge, but also a diverse range of valuable contacts as both Sales and Key Account Manager, but also as a make-up artist. Establishing connected, effective and personable working relationships has been key to my proven track record of growing commercially viable accounts with multiple department stores, e-tailers, and distributors alike. I am therefore able to confidently craft account growth plans that seamlessly align with marketing and sales strategies to maximise both revenue growth and exposure.

I am now seeking a dynamic and exciting role where I can leverage my skills fully, working in a collaborative and modern workspace for an aspirational beauty brand such as Balmain Beauty.

Working in the luxury beauty & wellness sector , I have a diverse range of retail and distribution experience. I understand customer experience, account management & sales are all vital parts of running a prestige beauty counter and know how to utilise these skills to make a space commercially viable. I have 15 years of experience workings for brands such as Pat McGrath Labs, Iconic London, Hair by Sam McKnight and my most relevant experience - running the UK salon team for Balmain Hair.
