By any measure, founding and then selling two companies would be enough for most people to retire happy. But not for serial entrepreneur Marcia Kilgore. “I just really like making things,” says the Canadian businesswoman.
At 53, she is on her fifth venture: the makeup and skincare buyers’ club Beauty Pie. She was the founder of footwear firm FitFlop and beauty brand Soaper Duper; she sold a majority stake in her Bliss Spa skincare brand to LVMH in 1999 at the age of 30, for a reported $30m; and in 2014 her Soap & Glory affordable beauty range was snapped up by the owners of the Boots chemist chain.
